Hey David,
You could put some grease on the mounting tabs of the Replacement Center Cap for 15" or 16" Aluminum Viking Series Wheels # TA65FR to make it come off easier, but you'd also be running the risk of the cap possibly falling off from road vibration. I personally recommend just using a composite pry tool # PT73HJ to press in the mounting tabs and pop off the cap without scratching it.

Thanks for the information. The Pry tools are a great idea after you get in there and initiate the cap coming off with a screwdriver. It's not very big.
