hey guys...quick question...

How do I pull these plastic thingies out?? I tried pulling them. I tried pushing them out from the top. Nothing seems to work. I don't want to force it too hard since they're plastic. I don't want them broken off... ...tips?? suggestions??

Thanks in advance!

 

get a thin surface blade wedge in the seem of the center cap and pop it out, if you can get to it the post is a self setting post you can squeeze it and that should help it slide out

 

heres a doodle,,, and some pics to help understand how they work....

 

I think I tried that..They seem to be stuck....but I'll wash them a bit and try it properly again when I get home tonight....

Thanks, man! :D

 

dont be affraid to break them either, I have a whole bag of emm sitting in my basement for times whem i take my bumpper off or trunk liner off or whatever,,,
they re pretty cheap...

 

It takes quite a bit of force to get them out. Just keep trying.....you'll get them off eventually.

 

are you putting in a new exhaust? if so you dont even need to take those off.

 

Yeah just break them...You can get a new set of whatever size at your local autozone.

 

pull harder they are not so easy to brake

 

This might be of help

loosen up the opposite side and it'll help as well.
