OK, I got a new set of center caps, and the good people at 914World recommended using a piece of PVC pipe to protect them during the install.
Just thought I'd pass this on (I'm a newbie here, so if this is 20-year old info., please move on to the next thread). Over in the plumbing fittings section, they have two small pieces that look like they were OEM-designed to install and remove the caps. The black one fits perfectly around the outside rim of the cap, and the white one fits perfectly in the inside for cap removal. Less than $5 total. I bet Pelican could package the two parts up and sell them as a cap installation/removal kit for $50. I bet the Porsche parts department could sell them for $200 (after all, they sell that wire cap removal tool for the flat caps, for $30, when a piece of coat hanger works equally as well). .
