How are those that have replaced center caps getting them off? Sorry if redundant question, searched but found nothing.

Does it pop out from the inside once the wheel is removed? I know that's the way it was on my Ford and Volvo products.

Yup, you have to take the wheel off and pop it out from the inside.

Thanks. I guess I should have clarified, question is if possible without taking the wheel off.

Not without wrecking it.

Why would they change the design on that?! Seems like poor planning. The center caps on my NNBS 20s pop off from the front by putting a small flat head blade in and gently pulling it up.

On the NNBS 20s, you had to remove the center cap in order to access the lug nuts. The current wheels are set up like most other vehicles where the lug nuts are exposed.

Yeah I get that. But still seems like a frustrating design.
