Installing colored wheel crests
I ordered a set of colored wheel crests that should be arriving today. I would appreciate any guidance as to how to remove the old ones -- thanks in advance for any help.

The caps have two small diametrically opposite holes on the face. To remove the old ones, insert two small angled wrenches (hex or torx) inside, short end in. ... Align them after insertion so the short ends point together, roughly....and then pull!

It is also easy to use two large paper clips. Bend one prong of one into a right angle, bend the other's prong into a right angle, insert one into each of the two holes, align them with ends pointing and PULL both together quickly. The old crest will pop right out.
