Silly question I know, but it's very cold outside and I don't want to be faffing around too much. I need to get one Carat centre cap off to investigate a speedo cable issue, how do they come off !

Thanks folks, mustn't have been tough enough with it then, a harder twisting and a tugging I will go then (later today) :ok

Well that didn't work :evil: No amount of pulling and twisting was budging it, it is a brand new one by the way, fitted only a week ago (not by me by the way).

Silly question = do you have to take the wheel off to get the caps off?

Removing the wheel is the best way to remove the cap.
