Method Center Cap Removal

[bigbmc26]

Anyone had any luck removing the Method center caps without removing the wheel? I've got a set of Ford Performance ones to add, but the existing Method ones don't leave much room for a removal tool.

I also got the new performance caps. What I did after struggling and not wanting to remove all 4 wheels is I got a 3/8 inch bit and drilled slowly in and pull them out with the drill bit stuck in the cap. This obviously not a good option if you want to keep the caps.

Lol, thanks, but I do want to keep the Method caps incase i sell the wheels in the future. I also don't want to pull each wheel off to update them. I just don't have the time.

I’ve removed mine with a small pick. Also where can I buy the ford ones?

They are expensive, but I had points to waste and there was a 20% discount available a few weeks ago.

Maybe melt a hot glue gun stick onto the center cap and try pulling it after? Kind of like those glue gun dent pulling kits

Is taking the wheel off that hard? Probably takes less time than posting this thread.

Not when you have a toddler running around . I have my daughter daily.

Just take the wheel off. Not worth damaging your wheels with a pick.

I have a set, there's not enough room to get it in there. I'll keep trying.

I’m guessing you take your Bronco to have the tires rotated. Just have them swap them the next time you take it.

I'm surprised they didn't make Bronco center caps for the Method rims

There is not good way without risking damaging the existing cap without removing the wheels.

What is crazy is Ford Accessories now sells the method wheels with the new center caps for the same price.
