How do I do it? I heard a lot about them being easily breakable. Any one know how to get them off properly?

The best way I can try to show is to suggest hitting the "Updating the FAQ" thread in the general chat section. Week #5 tutorial is about changing a tire. It includes taking the hubcaps off on the S. Watch where I put the tire lug wrench to the hubcap.

Hope that helps.

i have a 1.6 and mine came off simply by tugging on them a little. They didnt break or anything and i was able to put them back on right after.

I dont think I would spend money to replace these ugly hubcaps. Even if just one broke I would rather opt for a new style of hubcaps. Speaking of which anyone experiment with new hubcaps? Or know where to get quasi-decent ones? I know all this has probably been discussed somewhere before but this website is damn hard to navigate.

okay. seems like someone could have said to gently pry it at the ends of the spokes so to speak, but the video was informative and i found the rest of them to be the same for future references. thank you
