ha ha, I'm in the same boat as you!

I just bought the new caps as well, I hated the chrome caps that came on my monaco's. The wheels look 10x better now

unfortunately you have to take the wheels off and pop them out from the inside.

Hey guys! Before you do it I have a super easy solution that works on most Center caps... Use a suction cup!!

Get a high strength suction cup from Napa or Autozone and suck that center cap out! Usually works great for me if you aren't taking off wheels

!

really?? i have 2 of those suction cups that you use to install granite tops and huge piece of glass...but idk if its gonna fit sealed

I wish there was a way for installing them without taking off the wheels. I ultimately just took my wheels off and popped them out from the inside
