Anyone else had trouble removing the center caps off these rims? There is a slit for a flatblade or similar tool to be inserted and then used to pop cap off. Mine have been on for a year and will not "pop" out. I scratched my rim slightly trying to remove one of them yesterday to rotate tires. The cap is also plastic and the head of screwdriver I was using almost broke through the other side of the cap. I knew I was gonna have this trouble when I first installed them. They were hard to remove when they were new. I was wondering if Enkei made a tool for them that maybe I didnt get with the wheels or something.

take the wheel off and use the long end of a crowbar (or something similar) to pop the cap out from the other side.

or is that what you already did unsuccesfully?

I know it sounds like I dont know what I'm doing but the damn things wont pop off as easy as they should...it pissed me off because I scratched the rim with the screwdriver. Just gonna leave it for now when I get new tires the shop can pop them out hopefully.
