No trick, if wheels are off, push the cap to the outside of the wheel and it should pop through. Then push them on to your new wheels, don't worry about breaking them, just give them a good push.

Make sure the bottom of the P crest (the pointy end) points towards the valve stem. That is the correct orientation.

Also, if you've already installed your wheels, (and don't have the center cap tool)
you can use 2 small allen keys that will fit in the center cap holes to pull them
out with. I had to do this and it worked out great.

Your very welcome. Mike is right I forgot to add that part, and actually you only need one Allen key, even though there are two holes.

The locker should be opposite the valve stem..........
