Weird wheel center thing

Anyone know how to remove the chrome thing? It doesn't work with my other wheels. I've bashed it and pried it, obviously. Thanks

 

Pry harder? It’s probably just stuck lol

 

Huge channel locks? Pipe wrench? You are ok with trashing it correct?

Maybe heat with a torch before bashing it again?

WD-40?

Dwayne Johnson?

 

I vote Dwayne Johnson

 

No dents on it so you’re not hitting it hard enough

 

Sharp chisel behind the edge.

 

Those things are "great" for hiding a spare key, marbles, a handful of bolts, rocks, etc..

 

Dwayne says it's properly stuck. So these things are just friction fit?

 

That isn't a factory part. It is aftermarket poop.

Bash it harder or get a chisel and cut it off.

 

Sharp chisel at an angle away from the hub

 

This is what it should look like under that "thing".

 

Ok I'm getting the picture, destroy the thing. I don't really know what it is anyway, although I'm imagining I'll need a center cap for the wheel when it's not there.

 

@Moosecam, thank you for entertaining me, I like you man

 

It’s called a “Grease Cap”
Probably just as cheap at your local Totoyta dealer as it is online with shipping.

I think they are like $20.00 or so?

 

It's an aftermarket center cap for your aftermarket rims. It's on there by friction. Since you are changing rims knock that sucker off there.

Hit it Again! HARDER! HARDER!
Hit it Again! HARDER! HARDER!

 

Might be rusted onto the hub. Heat will help. But as others have said: beat the bastard.

 

This.

That chrome thing isn't a grease cap. It is an aftermarket wheel center cap.

 

Thanks, it's off, dented to hell. It seems to be doing grease cap duty too in case you're interested.

 

Round house kick it.
