Good opportunity to clean/wax the wheels and brake calipers though.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Other than using a flat head screwdriver and prying like a monkey is there another way to take out the wheel center caps? Perhaps a $500.00 tool from Porsche?
I bought some new center caps and they have two little holes in them that look like they are for some tool. I really haven't worked on it yet but I am worried about marring up the wheels. Thx guys.
Best way, is to take the wheels off and push the caps off from the back. There is a wire tool for pulling them off. i think Automotion sells it, but by the time you order it and you actually get it, you'll be better off doing it my way. Good opportunity to clean/wax the wheels and brake calipers though.
Thanks, I'll try it although I was trying to avoid that. But, I'll take your advice and clean and wax everything. 2 coats of wax on the rotors right? lol
people freak about this...seriously...get a SMALL flathead screwdriver and pop it off. It is not that serious and it will not damage anything.
i have replaced mine and have seen other to it. It is simple plastic hooks back there...so a TINY BIT OF PRESSURE will pop them out...no damage what so ever.
just be gentle...after you do it..you will think..what is all the fuss all about? Seriously..it is so simple.
I heard someone mention a coat hanger inserted into the holes.
Personally I agree with taking off the wheel and popping them off that way and giving the wheels a good clean on the other side
Wow, I used the coat hanger and it was wicked easy. Except now I feel guilty for not cleaning behind the wheels! Thanks for all your help guys this board is great.
