I just bought a new set of center caps (which took me forever to find) and I need to remove my old ones, and get these new ones on. Has anyone done this before or have any tips on how to do this without damaging the caps? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Are they wire wheels or hubcaps?

You will need to take the wheel off the car. Once you have done that the old cap is held on by a crossbar that has two bolts. Once you get that off you just do the reverse process to put the new one on. I put lock washers on mine just to make sure I keep the center cap Its not hard to do just a little time consuming Good luck

OK, thanks alot. BTW, all the center caps I have are plastic, including the ones that are on the car. Are stock ones actual chrome?? I sure hope not...
