The trick I use to swap wheel centers out, without removing your wheels is to simply get a small allen wrench, insert the short end into one of the holes and pull it off. Like so:

Step One: insert allen wrench

Step Two: pull off cap

Step Three: replace with new caps

Not much to it!

I hate to say this, but I am the tool guy. Never bothered to waste my money on this piece of coat hanger with a piece of clear plastic tubing. But, you can buy it from any dealer....

Yeah, I knew that was available, but an allen wrench works well and chances are you've already got them in your toolbox. It's a bit Rube, but it worked for me! :)

An ice pick works just fine for me. Then when they are clean line them right side up on all four wheels and feel good about your car for a minute.
