How do you........?
I have two, unrelated questions and I hope some of you folks know the answers:
1) How do you remove the wheel center cap without damaging it? I want to turn them so the flags point to the valve stem.
2) What is the easiest way to shrink a big photo down to 150x150 pixels for an avatar and still retain sharpness? I have been using the resize function in MS Photo Editor, but the results are always real grainy.
Thanks!

I placed a clean rag between the screwdriver and wheel to avoid any damage. The cap is plastic, so be careful with it as well.
To resize a photo use a host site like photobucket.
