wheels off???

[woodisgood]

Okay,
Sorry for the total noob question, I have looked and not found the answer so hopefully someone can answer me quickly and this thread can fade away..Do I need to take my wheels off to remove the center caps on my bottlecap rims?

it's been awhile since i've had bottlecaps but i'm pretty sure the answer is no, you don't have to remove the wheels.

You should be able top pop it out with some force and wiggling I think. I know the weave cap is a cam lock...

[woodisgood]

thanks, will try more muscle...didn't want to damage anything.

[Miasma]

Looks like it just should pop out.

[Bimmerista]

It'll pop out

['90 325is]

it will pop off but if you can't get it off, then you will have to take the wheel off and pop it from the other side

[Erik]

Yeah wtf. You definitely have to take the wheel off to get the cap out...

[Wh33lhop]

Technically no, you don't have to remove the wheel. But it will be much less frustrating if you do.

i just take the wheel off, pop off the cap from the back side with a screw driver.

I think I am going to have to take the wheels off if I don't want to destroy them...they are STUCK!! More than likely been in there for twenty years..

They pry off, but you will bend them if they are stuck at all. I just pulled mine off and used a large socket, extension, and hammer to pop them out.You gotta give it a good whack, though; hit it too light and it won't come out straight.
