    Checking tire pressure on our 2017 level 4 is really a pain because the stems and the caps are deeply recessed in the wheel covers. It's was really difficult to get my fingers into that little space to remove and replace the caps. I solved the problem by using a nylon hose barb, 1/4" pipe threads X 1/2" hose, to reach into the opening and slide over the cap to friction grip it so it can be easily worked with.
