The owners manual shows them just prying off from the outside
Plastic pry tool should get the job done here.
now just get rid of the lug check marks. Ha.
Did you ever find an easy way to remove the center caps? Usually when I can't find a good plastic pry tool I use the brick separator that comes with LEGO sets.
Good to know! I ordered another suction cup if that doesn’t work I’ll try Lego tool
Looks great! On a side note - how do you like the toyos? Any noticeable difference in ride quality, cabin noise, and mpg?Just removed/replaced the center caps using a watch repair tool w/duct tape covering the edge. You should be able to do the same with a small flathead screw driver - just cover the flat edge with some tape to protect from scratching. Took about 10 min to carefully replace all four.
Love the look on Meteor Shower

Love the Toyos, good ride and still TBD on mileage as I’m in the break in. They’re fairly light compared to competitors and ride is still good on an E load.
What are the size specs of those tires if you don’t mind me asking?
They’re stock size (265/70r18) in E Load which is 51lb per tire (compared to 55lbs on the KO3). A few lbs more than stock but not too bad.
Also, I think this size is perfect and I wouldn’t want anything bigger. For reference, I’m coming from 35” KO2s on my former Jeep with a 2” lift.
I can dig it. How did you do it?
On the back side there are two sets of prongs, the inner ring set have to be removed 1st. I placed a paper towel on my kitchen counter (stone) and used a small bladed screw driver (blade was just slightly smaller than the prong), placed the tip (from the center side) at a 30-40 degree angle to the prong and smacked it with a strong force (not a tap) with a small hammer, which started a dent/crease. Rotated the screwdriver to 90 degrees (straight up and down) and gave it 2-3 very hard whacks, burying the tip in the plastic (basically making some room for the prong to come out). I repeated this process for all the inner prongs. I then, with a small hammer, hit the prongs directly with a medium whack, you need to try and drive it straight down as many of them bent over and broke off flush (that wasn't really an issue). Repeat for all the inner prongs. At that point I could tell the disk was coming out and I inserted a larger screwdriver and attempted to pry the disk out. (be careful and don't pry too hard, the disk is flexible). The outer ring(bronze) was easily removed.
Interesting.
