Default AP2v3 wheel center cap

[attachment=23024:ap2 wheel.jpg]Does anyone know how to remove the center cap off the AP2v3 wheel. The problem is that it is completely flush. I have tried all kinds of trim tools, flat head screwdrivers, any other tool that I can get my hand on.
If anyone has any experience with this, please share!

the only way I do it is by tapping it from the rear with the end of a wooden handled hammer or similar object. I can't see how you can do it from the front.

Have you been able to do this with the wheel on? Or does the wheel have to come off?

Unless you really want to scratch it up good, you need to take the wheel off the car and push it out from the inside.

If you find a way to get behind the wheel center while the wheel is still on the car, please post your solution here.
