Installing Wheel Crest
 
In the last week two of my gold wheel crests have somehow pried themselves free and vanished into the great unknown. Replacement parts (which is the entire silver center cap) are on their way, but while I wait: how do I remove the old part? Is it snap in? Screw in? Release inside the two holes? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Cap remover
 
Actually Porsche has a cap removal tool.

I just made one using a coat hanger with
a loop and 90 degree bends at the hole entry
points.

Maybe one of our members can post a pic.

Best,

Gerry

Aha! Thanks Gerry. I'm guessing you made something like this?

$35! I can do my dry cleaning and get a free cap tool.
