is there a way to de-cap lugs? my factory lug wrench wont fit capped lugs? are there any special tools needed to change brakes and rotors?

 

Yeah, you can just pry them off, might need a chisel.

No special tools, though a hub bearing nut tool is strongly suggested. Saves you having to use a chisel or big arc joint pliers to remove and install the nut.
You'll need 12pt sockets for the caliper bolts and rotor bolts.
The drive member bolts you can remove with 6 or 12pt.
Loctite 270 for the rotor bolts and drive member bolts.

 

quick hint on the lug caps. I was able with some force and a pair of vice grips clamp the caps back down onto the lugnuts and not have to remove them.

 

i was successful in removing caps. i found a shop that used a hand grinder to remove the tops then make a slit into the cap being careful not to make one into the lug itself. then using a small sledge hammer and a heavy duty flat head scredriver chieseled the caps off. it took alittle work but it worked to reveal a 26mm lug. breaks done. didnt need back rotor. front was a different story! THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTIONS. I STRONGLY SUGGEST TO OTHERS REMOVE/REPLACE CAPS.
