Removing Wheel Center Caps 2013 C300
I'm trying to replace my wheel center caps with some new ones without removing the wheels. Anyone know a good technique?
I can't get a suction cup to grip and have been unable to get any leverage using a screwdriver (covered with a rag to protect the wheels of course!). I've been thinking of gluing the suction cups to the old caps with a strong glue or using some kind of strong tape.
Any suggestions or experiences from someone who has tried to do the same?

They make removable shower grab handles with suction cup/lever action attachments...they really hold and were able to remove my center caps. Available at hardware stores, big box stores, and probably eBay.

In truth, it's tricky to get these out with the wheel installed, the three hooks underneath do a good job of holding in place. For me personally, I'd just take the wheel off, clean and wax the barrels or something, and pop out the centers from the inside.
