CCW guys, How in the heck do you remove the center cap!!
I have a set of CCW 505As that I have removed from my car for polishing. I can't figure out the center cap! I smacked them pretty good with a piece of wood and hammer. Is there a secret I should know before I damage them?

No secret, they are just held in place with an o-ring that keeps it pretty snug. We use a round pvc pipe that fits down into the backside of the cap and a hammer to knock it out. Takes a couple good hits but it will pop out. You won't hurt them.

This technique worked great for me too. No problems. Mike

I used an old screwdriver turned backwards (handle against the cap) and smacked it a few times with a hammer to get the caps off.

I was having the same issue when I was having my sensors installed. thanks to my blackberry I was able to look up CCW's site and call them to ask Later models have the o-ring, earlier models do not. Mine had the o-ring.
