    Good day!

    Hopefully a quick and easy question. What is the best way to remove the plastic center caps on a 2019 SR5? I want to paint them but avoid damage as I remove them from the wheels.
    Your time in this matter is greatly appreciated!
    Respectfully,
    Colt

    Depends upon how the caps were designed(how much bite the caps have)? The safest way is to remove the wheel, then remove the cap.

    If you can get some string or fishing line under opposite corners, they should pull straight out. They're just plastic. Or you can do like Moon Landing says and remove the wheel, then pop them out from the inside.
