Centre Cap Removal

Post by Macdaddy » Thu Nov 23, 2017 10:26 am

Any tips on removing the centre caps without damaging them or removing the wheels?

Got replacements after a wheel refurb and i know i could drill them out but was trying to save them.

Just take the wheels off, a lot simpler.

Back on thread, there’s a little tool in the boot kit to take them off. Or at least there is on RS7’s
