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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

What is that little tool and where did it come from?
@Lukester08263 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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

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

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