That worked great ... I CF wrapped my stock caps and used this method to remove them. Thanks!

Could someone re-post the link or add it to Utube? The drop box link didn't work for me.

I tried this method and the original video makes it looks easy. I spent 1/2 hour trying to get the floss into the space between the center cap and wheel. I finally gave up and popped each out it 5 seconds with a jewelers screwdriver. No marks on the wheel or center cap.

That is very cool and looks to be a very safe way to get the center caps off.
