Good point.

<end serious>


<kidding>

Then one could get a grease gun and fill the cap through this hole
til' it pops off!

<end kidding>


To the OP, I too use the claw end of a hammer.

One other point. With new rotors, my P-side grease cap would slide off
when installed on the new rotor. (new smooth surface, greasy, good
seal, slight pressure resulting)

I made the cap **slightly** out of round, it stayed on. Wrong way IMO.
In hindsight, using a center punch to make a slight dimple (maybe 2?
12:00/6:00?) on outside of cap, would likely help keep it in place.
