I'm going to be replacing the TT2's on my Camaro with a set of used rally wheels.  I need to remove the old wheel weights before I start painting.  Can someone lead me to a "wheel weight removal tool" source?

Thanks,  Dave

Just take the wheels to a tire shop and have the weights removed.
If you don't want to do that Goggle wheel weight removal tool and see how many hits you get.

I ended up using a large pair of angle pliers.  Thanks for the response.  I found a place locally where I could order one.  I was surprised that Harbor Freight doesn't carry them.

That's what I always use...seems to work OK except that the jaws on the pliers tend to scratch the weight mount tab.  But if your not going to save them anyway, that's OK anyway.
