okay, i'm replacing the brake pads and putting in slotted/cross drilled rotors while i'm at it, but i want to take the whole wheel hub off so i can clean up the brake shield. The front wheel has the damn center cap on it (not the plastic hub cap) covering up the hub nut but i have no idea how to get it off...Help me out here

 

the grease cap?

flat screw driver...

 

Take a 45* corner at about 50mph ... It worked great for me ;-)

 

yeah flat screw driver start out with a very small one to get it in there then work your way up. thats what worked for me.. just don't pry to much with the mini screw drivers I have broken several this way.

 

okay i guess i'll give the screw driver another try, thanks guys

 

Try his way, then post pics.

 

Use a hammer to wedge it in. Yeah they are a bitch. Make sure it's a strong screw driver, ours bent LOL
