After reading the post about breaking off the tabs of the hubcaps, I am wondering- is there a secret to taking these off? I'm getting ready to put the ceramic brake pads on my kat and don't want to screw it up. Any hints? thanks ------------------ |

JB, The chances are less if you remove the center cap by using 2 tools instead of 1. When you pry on it to get it off, just make sure it comes out straight towards you instead at an angle. That's how I broke my 1st one by prying on the slot with 1 tool only. Good Luck! |

I wrapped a rag around a regular screwdriver and did not have a problem. I may have used two screwdrivers, just don't twist the screwdriver. |

Ed - The parts counter said there are three caps. 1 for the early polished wheels, and 2 types for the chrome? Plastic versus metal? ------------------ |

I just bought a center cover for my kitty since I too broke one. The cost for me was 57 dollars and change. I asked what the best way to remove these covers were and got a very carefully. Later... ------------------ |

Hey Pena, let them cover them under warranty until they can come up with some way to make them not so flimsy. Keep up the good work on your website! |

I have had 3 center cap tabs break and I was very very careful too. all have been warranted with no problems. I noticed on the last new cap that there was some little pins added behind the clips to prevent them from bending to far. Hope that they work. ------------------ |
