    Default How do you remove the center hub cover in the wheels on a spyder?

    Need to remove the center hub cover to install a light kit. Before I just start trying to pry things off, anybody know how the little wheel hub cover comes off?

    Default Removal

    I have read that you can prise it out with a small screwdriver, but my preferred way is to remove the wheel and then tap it out from the inside.

    Default Have to agree..!!

    I use a knife blade from the outside but to keep them unmarked the best is from the back removing the wheel. I changed mine for these 20130904_101844.jpg but they don't light up....

    Two thin knife blades; spaced 180 degrees apart...
    Gently pry up from both sides at once!

    x 2. If you are installing glo ryders, you do not have to take the wheel off. I can put on or take a set off in about 10 minutes now.
