    I would like to remove the caps on my 17" wheels (4261147500). What is the easiest way to remove without breaking the plastic. Do I need to remove them rim and pop them out from behind?

    removing the wheel, poking the back end would be the best way to do it. Or you can pry it off, but you know how that can go.....
