    • Use a metal spudger to carefully pry off the hubcap without marring the plastic wheel or hubcap.

    • This plastic material is not replaceable. Any damage will be noticeable.

    The hubcap won't come out. It's flat & tight. Even a tiny screwdriver for eyeglass repair can not get under it. Any tricks forgetting it out?
