I removed the hex screws but then had no idea on how to remove the caps.

Can someone help me out? Thanks in advance.

 

I've never thought of taking mine out. I didn't even know those hex screws come out. I thought they were just decoration or something. Try punching it out from behind with a piece wood and a mallet.

 

From what I have heard, they just pop out, (But not very easily)

 

it's indeed not very easy

i tried to hammer it...and it still wouldn't come out.

anybody else?

 

bigger hammer.

 

or more force on current hammer.

take off the rims from your rotor and pop it out from the inside

 

They just pop out the back side...there were a couple of them that took forever to get off. What we did was use a 17mm socket with an extension and hammered it from the backside...the guys at the local America's tire were afraid to do it, so I had to do it myself. I made sure that they knew how expensive the rims were before they even drove my car into the work bay...then they were afraid to work on it...the manager had to do it.

why are you trying to break your rims? I thought you were selling them....

 

From the back side of the wheel use the butt end of a wooden hammer handle. Place the handle in the center cap and hit the head end with another hammer. Place a rag appropriately to ketch the center cap as it takes some force to knock them out and you don't want them bouncing around on the pavement. They are just held in by rubber "O" rings that tend to harden with age. Don't use metal socket or you will dent the center cap from the back side. The Allen head screw is just decoration and does not have any thing to do with removing the cap.

 

Whatever you do, DONT force it, just get a bigger hammer

 

THANKS FOR ALL THE HAMMER IDEAS
