My comment is no reflection on this man and his video here. In fact, I will leave him a thumbs up. That being said, it always makes me scratch my head when I see people waste all this time when they are going to throw them in the trash afterwards. This is simple, people...if you do not give a flying crap about the old ones, and you're going to toss them in the trash anyway, there is absolutely nothing faster than walking out to your car, with cordless drill and and hook tool. Yup, it's exactly what is sounds like! Drill a quick hole, drop the hook tool in, and yank! Boom, it's out! In fact, you have no hook tool? No problem, a screw driver works just as good... No drill? That's ok too, a hammer and screw driver work just as well. Even using the hammer to bang the screw driver into the center cap is far quicker than c int back 10-minutes later (again, no reflection of this video). There is simply no faster method! Forget all this 10 to 15-minutes stuff. I did all four of mine in less than 30-seconds - yes, I timed myself! And, even with a small hole in the center, the old ones didn't look so bad. I could totally reuse them in a pinch! faster. Forget all this 10 to 15-minutes stuff. I did all four of mine in less than 30-seconds - yes, I timed myself!

Rub alcohol on them first to get all the grime off first then the tape will stick better.

@@worthowaste I'm gonna tell you the truth, I saw this video and I went to my car to try, but I notice a gap between the badge caps and the wheel. I used a flat head screwdriver and a microfiber cloth to not scratch the wheels and it worked for me. I'm thanking you for your video because most videos removing these was suggesting to drill a hole in the badge cap which is obvious that is going out that way. This video is an alternative way to do it. I didn't want to damage my old caps, whether they are old or not.

I used electrical cloth tape, you can use duct tape. I find the normal electrical tape isn’t sticky enough. Try with what tape you have at home first, just give it some time to stick if it does not come out the first time

ever consider just drilling a hole in the center caps you'll throw away anyway and inserting a hook to pull them?

Why waist $$, just screw any old wood screw into the center of the cap and then pull on the screw, they will just pop straight out takes a few seconds to take out and replace each one

I know its terrible and I suck.. I'm trying to get better on KZbin, talking to a camera is like talking to yourself it isn't easy. The only way is to keep posting and getting criticism and to improve on that. See my latest video how silly I am. Guess I'm sorry until I get better

Your caps were stuffed. Drill a 2mm hole, stick the "L" of a small allen key in and pull. All 4 done in less then 60 secs.
