Does anyone know a way to remove the Center hub cap of the wheels without having to remove the rim?

I got my GMC centers yesterday to replace the Chevy's that I had on the CK375's

I was thinking about drilling in the chevy caps to pull them out but I also was going to try to sell them as they are just about new condition.

Why drill them out? It doesn't take very long to pull the wheels...

Those center caps are actually a little pricey considering they are just chrome plated plastic so it'd be well worth your time to remove correctly and turn around and sell them :imo:

Being lazy, I have a bad back and no torque wrench.

Might have to take it in to remove them.

Yeah I know thats why I don't want to ruin them so I can re-coop some expense.

You'd spend more time doing it your "lazy" way than you would doing it the correct way in this instance.
