OK what's the secret to removing the wheel center caps....IIRC there "used to be" 2 little holes in them that were removed with the PORSCHE SPECIAL TOOL # ......... (or a bent wire)
But there are no holes in the "new" caps......
You "KNOW" that a judge will take off points for this "infraction" of the emblem not pointing to the valve stem

 

If you have a GTS with Center Locks...The little tool specifically for this under the Frunk.

Lift off the plastic cover that is just aft of the cargo area. There you will see a cylindrical plastic container right of center. Take off the cap and inside is the wheel nut removal tool, and inside that is a small plastic tool you use to pry where there is a little notch in the center cap.

I don't recall where this little tool is kept in my 2014 S. Sorry.

you can take off wheel and push it out from the back of the wheel

 

Uh Huh... I figured that out Just a bit extreme don't cha' think !!

 

UMM, thats how it works

 

.

 

those things suck

 

OK I guess there is no "hack" (easy way)
Unless the person who does the tire changes is a P car person...they don't have a clue about the emblem orientation.....

 

Mine were properly aligned when delivered by the dealer. BTW, both my '18 991.2 and '22 Macan have the little removal holes in the center caps. They're located in the black colored stripes and may be a bit hard to see.

 

OK I feel like a "complete" Idiot...Porsche has done such a good job of hiding the little "holes" that I didn't even see them I guess I can just use a bent wire to pop them off

Like this, right?

 

Wow, $42.50 for a bent wire? I guess that is inline with the $40 pigtail "wiring harness" to adapt the redesigned COV. Porsche tax in full effect here!

 

I used a piece of bent coat hanger $0.00 And IIRC MANY years ago there was a small version of that "puller" in the tool pouch

 

its not a dental instrument...
