O.k, I must be a moron. Is there a trick to getting the front wheels off? They are 2.0 liter Fuchs if that means anything. I have removed the lug bolts and center cap. By the way, is there an easy way to remove center caps that have not been removed for a long time?

How long have they been on? They could be rusted to the hub. I had an old ford truck that did that. One good whack with a big hammer and they were off, but don't recommend that with the Fuchs. Center caps are best removed with the wheel off from the inside.
