2010 honda fit...how to remove hub caps?
hi,
i'm kind of stumped here. on my older civic i would just remove the lug nuts and the plastic wheel/hub cap would just come off and i wouldn't put it back on(i don't care about cosmetic things)
however with this newer fit i can't seem to access the lug nuts because the hub cap/cover is hiding them. anyone know how to remove the cap so i can get to the lug nuts?
I think i see a metal ring going around the inside circumference of the hub cap. not sure if that's how you get it off tho

Now why would anyone bother with that?
Let me google that for you
Could you possibly be less qualified to work on a car?

You can use the rod supplied with the jack that you use to turn the scissor jack as a pry rod, the end is flat so you can stick it between the rim and cap and pop it off. I think there's even a little cutout to stick the pry in.
I just pull them off from the spokes, just pull hard, use two hands on two spokes, they won't break. Old hubcaps can get brittle with age and sun, that's why they crack.
I do suggest you read the manual, it may be helpful for your future endeavors.

Why do you post these threads?
Why do you question who comments in threads on a public forum?
Why don't you go buy a pair of roller blades and spare that poor car?
If you can't figure out how to jack the car (hint: check the manual) and you can't remove the hubcaps (second hint: also in the manual) how on earth do you propose to undertake a clutch change without killing yourself or causing thousands in damage?
To top this off - Why do you need to change the clutch on a 2010 Fit already?

if you find my topics too trivial i'd appreciate if you wouldn't click on them. or just put me on ignore. I really wish i could make my threads invisible to you if that would help.
i haven't worn out the clutch yet but i don't want to wait until i have to learn how to replace one.

You are the product of over 4 billion years of evolution.
Act like it. You may not appreciate my method but I am actually looking out for your well-being and wallet.
