I purchased some replacement center caps. Whatever tricks to removing the one-time ones without removing the wheel. I tried flat head, butter pocketknife, etc. Simply, didn't have much luck.

You must remove the wheels in society to replace the heart caps. At that place is no style to pry the old center caps out of the wheels without damaging the pigment around the cap. I suppose you could drill a pigsty through the center of the old caps and utilise a slide hammer to pop them out without dissentious the wheel, but so y'all are destroying the caps.

As above, if you don't desire the caps anymore, drill a hole in the cap, screw in a screw and pull out.

The last time I've removed mine from the inside of the wheel, information technology didn't take much try. Perchance effort a small suction cup?

They original caps and pretty faded which is why I bought new ones. Will attempt the drill fob offset.
Just take the bicycle off and tap the cap out using a bit of wooden broom handle and a hammer

Of course if you want to get in really "authentic," indicate the cavellino's feet towards the valve stalk...

Skilful lord, we would rather ruin a prepare of $100-200 center caps than merely take the five minutes to take the bike off? Just take the dang bike off.

Is that really a matter? On Porsches, information technology's tradition to orient the point of the shield at the valve stem, but I've never heard of the feet on Ferraris.

Really though...why not but take the bike off? do people not have tools? is this a Ferrari culture thing? what's with the laziness?

Faded caps are worthless. Nail em out with a screwdriver, who cares. Accept the wheels off if you desire to clean them, the calipers and arches properly. I would not accept the wheels off to replace faded rubbish centre caps.
Gonna suggest something I'm sure everyone will pout on. $15 set of metal dome sticker caps. Many designs including carbon fiber look. If yous stick it on smack center over your originals, it's non ez to tell the departure , short of someone trying to pry them off thinking they are authentic. Cheers . Can give a picture show if required
Lots and lots of designs which you tin can keep changing whenever you get bored , including HRE emblems.
Utilize the 56mm stickers for original caps.

Information technology'south non the signal....IMO in that location's a right manner to practise every job.
