I'm getting ready to put my factory wheels back on my CLS and the black paint on Acura logo and the circle around it on center caps is faded and wearing out so I'm going to paint it red like the Integra Type R center caps but I dont know how to get them out. I use to work for Porsche and have changed thousands of center caps but the Porsche caps have 2 little holes in them to stick a pick in and I also made a tool out of a wire hanger to stick in there and pull them out. I dont want to try to knock them out from the back cuz I'm scared they will break but I dont know any other way to get them out. Sorry for the long post but if you have any info or suggestions please reply. Thanks for your time.

 

Exactly that....knock them out from the back. Doesnt take a lot of force as I am sure you know.

 

x2. dont worry, they wont break or anything. Just a light tap with the back of a screwdriver or something will do it. Put your hand in the front so it doesnt fall to the ground and scratch it

 

Ya that worked I was just kinda scared to do it like that cuz I didnt want to break them cuz I think there like $20 a cap. They should definitely put the little holes in the caps to pull them out like Porsche. The holes are so tiny you can barely see them plus you dont have to take the wheel off to get to it
