You'll have to take the car to the dealer. They have a special Hubcap Remover Tool.

No seriosuly, I pulled mine off with my teeth.

You mean you used your head like a bottle opener?

If you have the locking kind, then it can be a little tricky. I would unlock it first THEN pry it off...you know, like when you go to change a flat tire. BUT first I would put the car in "park" then engage the emergency brake (the handle with the button on the end between the two front seats). Now, when you go to pry off the hubcap you want to make sure you do not mark up your tire! As far as putting it back on..well, er....I never went that far so I couldn't tell you how to do that. Maybe some Gorilla glue?

Your cool on that unless you replaced the stockers with the lowered hubcaps.
