Default Fikse Center Caps ?

Any advice on removing them ? Just though I'd ask before I attempt to knock them out with the end of my screwdriver.

Just a bit of advice. The orings on the caps are real sensitive. Best thing to do is to put about a teaspoons worth of water from the back side.

Then just give it a nice tap with the end of a hammer handle.

You have to pop them out from the backside. If you pry them off you'll be very sorry. I place the wheel face down on a thick towel or on the grass, and from the backside use the wood handle end of my hammer and pop them out. Then use a towel and rubber mallot to pop them back in.
