    Removing Turbine Hub Caps?

    How in the heck are you supposed to remove the turbine center caps without damaging the lip of the wheel or having the center cap go flying? Is there a special tool or trick?

    I've been using a tire iron with a lip on it to catch the cap and a cloth wrapped on the iron to press on the aluminum lip and not bang it up.

    That's pretty much the way I do it.

      Yep, that's how I do it. You can also press your knee against them in the right spot and they pop off.
