Default Center Cap removal

Hi,

I've been searching the forums and the net for this question, but I'm not finding it. How do you remove the center cap "Ford Logo" located in the middle of the rim on the tires? I just picked up some pony spinners and I have to remove the center cap in order to install them. The spinners did not come with any instructions.

Thanks.

you have to take your wheels off and pop them out from behind. i popped my spinners off from the front with a small eyeglass kit but they kind of broke out.

You can easily get them off without taking off the wheels, but use something with a bigger blade like a putty knife.

Thanks. I did what you suggested and I got them off in no time. The spinners looks great too. Thanks again for your help!

Good deal. Watch your spinners, they come off as easy as they pop on and are a target for derelicts to rip off.

here's a simple mod to make sure the spinners don't come off. To remove the spinner, you will need to remove the wheel and popp off the brass retainer.



I did a quick write up which can be found here:
