How to remove center wheel caps?

[Sixer]

The Aeros came off for the summer and I’m considering putting them back on for the winter to offset the low temperature range reduction.

I don’t fancy having to take the whole wheel off if I don’t have to. Is there an easier way?

Best bet is a suction cup from eBay or amazon

supposedly, it’s possible to use duct tape or similar. I couldn’t get it to work but I had cheapo tape.

definitely not a screwdriver!

This little suction puller is what you need:

Just to note, my caps logo is recessed so it won't be able to be removed by a suction sucker, just tried to use one that you get in the phone replacement kits, no joy. The way mine went in the only option is going to be to remove the wheel and pop it out from the rear.

Is it a 55mm puller? The logos on mine are very slightly recessed too but the puller works great. If it's a smaller diameter puller then maybe it is more affected perhaps?

If you’ve got the genuine Tesla caps a 55mm puller works OK

I was beginning to wonder about how to do this (long trip over 1/2 term, with a bit of luck.) Just ordered an Amtech.

I used a suction cup from my light bulb changer. It worked better than using tape.

... or the non genuine caps in my case .. also works with 55mm puller
