    Potentially, you could modify the center caps with a cut out to access the disconnect. Not sure you're ready to take a knife to the borbets though.

    Put a smiley after you say that Bub.

    I wouldn't mind removing the covers (only two allen bolts) when I want to access them. My concern is that I'd have to make cuts just to fit them behind the covers (which is NOT an option ).

    BTW, the 3 'extras' that I have are free to anyone who wants them. Just PM me where you want them sent.

    Never did figure out why they come in packages of 5. Who would ever need an odd number???
