If you are concerned with preserving the paint on your hubcaps and wheels,
the jack handle is not satisfactory.  I made a tool from 1/8" x 1"x 12"
steel with a right angle bend about 1 inch from both ends.  Bevel one end so
it fits behind  the hubcap and tap the other end with a hammer.   It works
fine and saves the paint on the wheel and the hubcap - at least on my
rampside.  Dennis D.
