Help! Center Caps

Sorry if there is already a thread on this. I am trying to remove my center caps on my wheels for painting, can anyone help me. Seems like I might crack them by prying them and I cant pull them off. Maybe I am a pussy.

Thanks

 

Purchase some ATX Thugs. They'll fall off for you.

 

Once the wheel is off the truck, "tap" out the centercap by using the handle end of a screwdriver.
If you try taking it out with the wheel still on, there's the possibility of damage. (It can be done though)

 

Pry those bad biys

 

I meant boys...stupid I phone

 

If the wheels are still mounted, remove one lug nut.....It gives you much better access to pry them off.

 

They just pop out easily from the back side of the wheel. You are painting so you should be removing them.

 

Thanks everyone.
I ended up removing the wheels and tapping them out. I am only painting the center cap black. I am leaving the wheel as is.

 

I have an extra set of center caps and I'm considering doing the same thing for my FJ wheels. Please post pics when finished!!

 

Heres my caps

 

^ that looks good

 

thanks

 

looking really good...nice job...

 

Gonna do the wheels the same color soon.

 

What paint did you use? rattle can or what?

Yup i used a rattle can, duplicolor wheel paint the color was graphite, i used duplicolor caliper paint for the red toyota emblems...i sanded sprayed some dupilcolor primer then painted.
