Arrow DIY: How to change center wheel caps!

I noticed that one of my wheel caps had fallen apart. So here is a simple DIY on how to change your center cap.

Tools needed: 1. Knife
2. Center cap (Part# A 171 400 01 25 5337) for 2010 E550. (your center cap may vary)

Take your knife and pull off the center cap.

As you can see in the picture, the new center cap needs to be pressed in.

Align the center cap to the rim.

Press in until it's completely inserted.

Thanks lee16. If available, I'd suggest using a plastic or rubber coated tool to lessen risk of scratching rim. There are cheap center cap removal tools (with rubber covered ends) available in most auto parts stores.
