The stinkin' grease cap has caused me more irritation over the years than the bearing seal. Does anyone have a raffinierte http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&lang=de&searchLoc=0&cmpType=relaxed&sectHdr=on&spellToler=on&search=raffiniert&relink=on idea on how to remove and reinstall grease caps with limited agony, in particular the "over the hub" types on the W210? The older types always responded successfully to persistent prying.

I had a drawing from a German manual that shows a little 3-claw slide hammer pusher puller, but I have never seen one like it in real life, either here or in Europe.

I know many people prefer the channel-lock method of removal, but mine don't respond well to that. I'd be happy to chisel it off, but I don't know how easy the new ones go back on (usually the old ones go back on easier).
