I'll second that. I installed a Wheelskin cover on my TR4 wheel over a 
lunch break years ago. I didn't have gloves and thought of pliers a bit 
late in the process. When I started it seemed like I'd ordered the cover 
too small but it's possible if you don't mind cutting your fingers to 
the bone with the lacing. Or you could wear gloves or use pliers. :)
