Default Stuck center caps?

This may sound really dumb, but why can't I get the center caps off the JK Unlimited SCX10 wheels!?! I've tried prying with small screwdriver, and pulling with pliers, but now they're starting to get all beat up and they just won't pop off! WTF!?! My jeep came with one wobbly wheel (tire wobbles on the rim) and I actually want to swap in the spare.

Sometimes the tire's support foam can get bunched up in the tire. Try working it around by hand and it may settle in. That and running it for a bit can sometimes help. If it is pinched crooked in the tire and got stuck with the glue, then you may be screwed (pun for your first post about the caps...lol). Just having fun with ya. Good luck Bro

laugh it up guys... ;) my first SCX10 so I had no Idea. the directions for assembling the wheel just gave me the impression that you just popped then on. I guess I should have tried that... This is exactly why I prefer kits. I just couldn't wait on this one. Thanks by the way..
