Stupid question inbound!

Can you remove the centre caps without taking off the entire wheel?

Thanks
 
Not really tbh. Don't try to jam something between the cap and the wheel as you'll scratch the wheel!
Probably best to just remove the wheel to be on the safe side!

If you are taking it off to paint then as above you can use a knife or something similar, if you don't want it damaged take the wheel off, its only 5 bolts :wink:

If you not keeping the old ones why not smash a screwdriver through the front and yank it out. That way wheel don’t get damaged:laughing:

If it's a smoke flume coming from South Yorkshire then I will be very worried indeed my friend! :smile:

What can go wrong - it's a Yorkshireman using a sharp object in anger on something made from steel and plastic (mostly plastic, it is a Renault) that's filled with a highly flammable liquid.... You'll be golden, Beany :wink:
