Maybe its a silly question but I don't want break one putting them on and have to buy another!!!

nope, no removing of anything is required, they push on and pull off like the spinners. The best way to get those center caps out is to tap them out from behind with the wheel off. Barring that a plastic pry bar will do the least amount of damage. Just pry the cap forward a bit and work it around until it pops out enough to remove.

Thanks for the info Ken!!! This is a temporary appearance mod and I may need to re-use them when I upgrade wheels, so no problem tapping them out from the back when I get to that point.
