3 min Center Cap Removal

Safely remove your wheel center caps in less than 3 minutes with string.

[@jamesthomson2300]

Great tip, thank you. After doing the first one, the rest came off much quicker. Used string and an old credit card. Less than 5 minutes to do all 4. Tried the suction cup method others mentioned, but it didn't work with my caps, and this method worked great.

[@SR-bs4go]

You are awesome. Thanks for making this video! I thought I will have to get it professionally installed because its a pain to remove all the 4 wheels of the car.

[@dogkill7466]

Fishing braided line works too, its thin and strong and easy to get in.

[@Rrl32591]

Just noticed this is an ss!nice!! I have a 15 phantom black love the car!

[@Lukester0826]

Nice, love these cars! This is my 3rd SS and 5th Holden.

[@Chrisnuzzo76]

Easier to use a suction cup, like the ones on a cell phone holder that sticks to the windshield. Just be sure to clean the areas with rubbing alcohol first.

[@Lukester0826]

It's good to have options. This is another option if the cap is gripped on too tight or is not able to achieve good suction due to texture or hole.

[@the7thwave520]

Having the texture issue with the suction cup at the moment.

[@stressypoo911]

U can also use suction cup

[@Bhicken_Nugget]

Putting my holden caps on right now. Thanks for the vid

[@seanquirk2687]

Fishing line would probably work faster if you attempt this method. Strong and thin. Probably wouldn’t even need to push it in with a tool

[@Lukester0826]

It's worth a shot, let us know how it goes.

[@bobbyjones2112]

Good job, but I don’t have a little groove. Mine are totally surrounded without any indentation.

[@jrmtl]

Thank you for this tip... Probably saved me from some scratches to the wheels

[@Lukester0826]

Glad it helped! It's nice to have different options.

[@prlivinca]

Great! Thank you for this

[@myjaminone]

Lay dowm duck tape in a cross pattern over the cap, then pull.

[@daniellepascual224]

Does that actually work?

[@John375PD]

Might be easier with dental floss.

[@donttalkjustplay4274]

This is also how my wife gave birth to our second child.

[@melissafrancisco]

What is that little tool and where did it come from?

[@Lukester0826]

You can use any plastic tool that is not going to scratch the wheel to push the string in. This is just a vehicle trim removal tool from Harbor Freight.

[@melissafrancisco]

@@Lukester0826 Great thank you!

[@RanulfoKnox]

I used a guitar pick and it worked just fine

[@jorgenvonstrangle000]

what chevy you drive looks nice wheels

[@Lukester0826]

Thanks. It's an SS. The performance sedan imported from Australia. 🇦🇺

[@stevekhani9657]

There’s a much better way. If you have a camera mount with a suction like a Gopro, you can put the suction on, lock it down and pull. Literally, I can take all 4 of my HRE center caps before you’re done “flossing” one of yours.

[@jayjones8639]

The thing is not all center caps are flat.

[@Chrisnuzzo76]

Or from a cellphone or GPS windshield mount. Just clean the area with alcohol first.

[@busterMcShamus]

This is very helpful, maybe just speeding up from :45 to 4:00 though.

[@hippiewithacowboyhat]

Took twice as long as just taking the tire off...

[@stephenEs3532]

you mean wheel dumbass?

[@gibon1337]

what the hell is happening here? Removing the wheel and pushing the cap from the inside would be quicker and easier

[@mittyahmed7362]

Would this work for vw polo

[@Lukester0826]

Yes, it should work with any center cap as long as it has a small gap to fit the string through.

[@G33_528_]

Bro life up your car take off the lugs use the back of a screwdriver or a rubber hammers handle and pop it off in lest than two seconds and just put the lugs back on

[@Lukester0826]

This is why we can't have nice things.

[@G33_528_]

@@Lukester0826 I work at a rim shop and that's how it's done

[@Lukester0826]

I see, you mean take the wheels off to remove the caps from the inside. This is a shortcut so you don't need to do all of that excess work in your home garage.

[@dylanbasil4100]

@@G33_528_ and if you don’t work at a rim shop lol. Not everyone has that luxury.

[@lunisic]

@@dylanbasil4100 who cares where u work u can do it correctly at home with a jack...

[@Miguel_Molina]

dude way too hard. just use duct tape and some pliers

[@Lukester0826]

I tried that method and it didnt work on this cap.

[@FDO777]

Push visa card 🥴

[@garygibbs1]

REALLY. ALL THIS WORK TO CHANGE A CENTER CAP....UMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[@Lukester0826]

It beats jacking up the car and removing the wheel and it works without marring up the cap or wheel.

[@bafattvahetere]

Drill a hole and use a metal hook. Your method takes too long time (and patience).

[@Lukester0826]

Wouldn't drilling a hole ruin the original cap?
