Can someone please tell me how I remove the center cap on the 18" Turbofans that my CM came with. I see the little hole in the center cap - now what do I do?
Thank you.

 

Do i just pull?

 

Yes, just pull. I don't know whether the Countryman comes with a toolkit (car jack, lug wrench, etc), but the toolkit for other MINI models includes a wire hook tool to stick into the hole for pulling the center cap cover. Otherwise you can use a coat hanger or any other tool you can improvise.

 

Use something like these (any of the right 3) and insert in the hole and pull

 

Thanks for the replies!

 

I just did my changeover Sunday. The little wire tool needed for pulling the caps is in my trunk tool kit, with the jack, etc.

 

I also learned the center cap has a plastic alignment pin - only attaches correctly one way on the turbo fans.
