    Stupid question and I'm sure I'll catch flack for this...... I thought the center cap swap would be straight-forward, but apparently not.

    I purchased some flat center caps for my wheels. Can they be exchanged without removing the tire from my truck? Putting a wrench to the allen heads and they seem to turn freely.

    TIA

    Most method center caps have to be installed from behind. You’ll most like have to remove the wheels.
