They are just held on by sticky-back tape. I use a sharp knife to get under them and them pry them up. Be careful not to nick the aluminum.

Then use alcohol to get the sticky substance off.

Not the only way, but one that works.

Pre soak..!!

Spray some WD40 or other glue removers and then pry them up. I have heard dental floss cut through nicely..then clean with alcohol so new ones will adhear..:thumbup:

Putty knife works good and won't scratch the rim

Soft pry

I use a plastic spatula called a bone. A Popsicle stick or a tongue depressor works great. Anything softer than the wheel. Then clean up with goo gone.

WD-40

WD-40, let stand for 30 minutes, then go for a ride... when you get back they'll be gone.... :clap:

Goo-B-Gone. Saturate it, let it set for 15 minutes, resaturate it and rub the glue off.

Works great!

The WD-40 worked great 2 squirts, 20 minutes later they almost fell off. Thanks a lot guys.:yes:
