This is what I use to get caps off. Then tire inflator and gauge like above.

Somehow I missed the class on this one!! Big fat fingers can’t reach air valve without removing ring lock, and even then air value is difficult to add pressure or lose pressure. Are there some type of extenders everyone has but me??

A lot of work removing all the wheel ring screws that have lock tight on all 12 screws? Help?
I had the same issue the first time I wanted to check my air pressure. Easy and cheap solution to remove the caps is get yourself a short piece of 3/8" ID rubber hose, slide it over the cap and unscrew. Leave the cap inside the hose to screw back on. Simple and easy.

Easiest way is to use the dash screen.... Geez.

Another reason to not have fake beadlocks.

That's pretty slick. If I have issues with my extenders I might get one of those. I just dislike having to have special tools just to check/fill the tires. I went with these, they protrude just enough.
