Center Caps Removal on '11 5.0
Hey all.
I've done a Google search and found that the preferred method of taking your center caps off is to remove the tires then punch out from behind. Everyone says 'preferred', do you have a different method other than this?
On my GT/CS a flat-tip screwdriver did the job perfectly. I tried on my 5.0 and it didn't budge and I started to chip the center rim (
)
Thanks all!

yes, they come much easier and without the chance of damage if you knock them out from behind. just use the handle of screwdriver with a rag on it and give it good tap from the backside and it pops right out.
