I used a screwdriver with a shop rag wrapped around it when i did Ian's drop (SMOKEin)

 

Can you get enough grip on it ? These things snapped on verry tight ! Maybe with some rubber coated gloves for added grip. I still havent tried , but I see a brake job in the near future.

 

Yeah but with the hooked end you can just pull it off. It's not like a plastic center cap is going to defeat your man power.

 

Be a man and pull your little heart out!!! lol

 

I just dont want to F up the centercaps . there is no way you can just grab it and pull it off unless you have hands the size of an NBA player. If I wanted the rims or caps scratched up , Id just take it to the dealership.

 

Says the man with no centercaps.

 

I have the cheap chrome clad wheels that I have to run in the winter that mount the same exact way. The only difference is the lip placment on the lugs. I pull them off and on twice a year........Lady fingers!!! lol

 

Different size cap. When and if you ever put your H.D. centercaps on. You let me know how that works out for you. My hands are not weak or fem. by the way. actually quite the opposite.

 

There isnt even a gap big enough to slip something under. unless its razorblade thin. The stock 17 " wheels centercap had one spot with a gap for putting something under it. I didnt see anything like that on these. My man power is what I'm afraid of . Ill most likely break a chunk out of the cap. or send it flying .

 

It is almost excatly the same. The only thing different is the shape. The way they mount is excatly the same. I put them up side by side. Either way that is the way I take mine on and off.

 

Im sure it works, dont get me wrong. I just am looking for suggestions. After the dealership scarred up my stockers I was pissed. They pry them off, and it chips the clearcoat on the rim around the centercap. after a short time the aluminum is all corroded and looks nasty. 9 out of 10 people couldn't give a ****e about it. but I do. Theres no reason they should take away from the value of your truck when they work on it. The stockers go back on in a couple months. Im just looking to keep these as nice as I can for as long as possible. I would never bring it in for any service work with them on it. I can park on a construction site for 10 months without a scratch or ding, but if I go grocery shopping of get it worked on I come home with damage.
