The method to remove the wheel bolt cover on a Volvo XC90 is: 1. Use a socket wrench to loosen the wheel fixing bolts in a diagonal sequence; 2. Use a jack to partially lift the vehicle for removal. The Volvo XC90 is a mid-to-large-sized SUV with body dimensions of: length 4953mm, width 1958mm, height 1776mm, and a wheelbase of 2984mm. The Volvo XC90 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 184kW at 5400 to 5700 rpm and a maximum torque of 350Nm.
When I had to change the tires on my Volvo XC90 before, I removed the bolt covers myself. You can use a plastic pry bar or a screwdriver—just align it with the edge of the cover and gently pry it out; if you don’t have tools handy, you can also pull it out by gripping the corner with your fingers. Be careful not to use too much force to avoid scratching the wheel surface—I learned that the hard way. The covers tend to collect dust and water, so removing and cleaning them can extend their lifespan. I think Volvo designed them quite thoughtfully—the edges aren’t sharp, and it’s easy to operate, but make sure not to reinstall them backward. While changing the tires, it’s also a good idea to check if the bolts are loose—safety first, after all.
