    How can the center cap , the complete center hub assy be removed from a 56 Cadillac sombrero hubca/, without damaging the outer ring section ?
     
  2. Drill the spot welds out?

  4. Post a pic of the backside
    Wanting the emblem area removed?
     
  5. To get it to look like this you grind around the inside lip/edge

  6. There’s a video on YouTube if you Google removing the center from a 56 Cadillac hubcap.

    can’t figure out how to share it.
    It’s OT anyway

    Since you have one apart. Can you tell me , what the size is of the hole in the trim ring ? And also how tall the trim ring is when sitting on a flat surface ? This information would help me out before I buy something that might not work. :(
     
  9. That’s a pic from the video.
