Default Center Cap Removal

How do you remove the center caps with the wheels on without damaging them??

I don't just want to stick a screw driver in there and risk damage unless that is the prescribed method...

Which wheels/center caps do you have? I know that for the 20" Sport Techno there is a hubcap removal tool. It goes into the two holes in the cap.

I looked in the tool kit and I cannot find anything that looks like DennisC's post. I even looking in my 911 and there was not one there either. I know that a tool, if it existed, was not removed...

Any other way to remove the caps without damage??

More work than desired to just change out the center caps. Thanks though!

Or you could buy a tool like that. I think Eagle Day sells them.

Thanks Dennis. I checked them out and found that most of their prices are on the high side compared t Suncoast and Rosen (Porsche). Thanks for the feedback in any case!
