Anybody know what this is? This clip was used together with the lug wrench to remove the chrome hub caps. Theese had two little holes near the perimeter in which you could insert the ends of the clip. The log wrench was threaded through the other end of the clip ... and then without much effort you could lift one end of the hub cap and then remove it. This method was superior to using screw driver blades or similar tools since you didn't risk to damage the chrome surface.
