I'm replacing the front right bearings as per, http://www.bmwe34.net/E34main/Maintenance/Suspension/WheelBearing.htm , but I'm stuck trying to remove the gold dust cap that covers the 46mm bolt. It simple says remove it with plyers but thats not possible since plyers would be unable to grip it. I trying to pry it off with a flat screwdriver but its just bending the edges. Any ideas?
