I spotted this sage and well thought out "solution" to often asked question of how to get the centre caps out from the road wheels.
Rather than go with the small Allen key or bent wire option this chap has a very unique take on just how it should be done.....
Remove the wheel. Deflate the tire. Then rent a large commercial freezer. Put the wheel in the freezer overnight. This will cause the metal to contract from the plastic center cap. Wait 24 hours. Then, go to home depot and purchase a 36" long 2x4. Return home. Remove the wheel from the freezer. Be careful, it will be very cold. Gently lay it on the ground facing down. You should see the back of the center cap. Then, place you index finger on the center cap. Hand the 2x4 to your wife. Then, ask her to wack you hard in the head. Booooom! Out pops the center cap. Problem solved.
I like his style, seems obvious now :floor: :floor: :floor:
