The best way & only way to remove the caps without damaging the clear coat and the cap itself is to take each wheel off and pop it out from the under/back side of the cap. If you try to pry the cap off from the outside...you will chip the wheel clear coat for sure. Anyone have a better suggestion....??

I tried to beat the wheel pulling requirement when I got new center caps - wish I hadn't. I was super careful - still tore up two of them. Then a guy offered me $20 each if I had all four in good shape
