I'm planning to have my van (dent) repaired, and the whole van repainted.
At that time I will remove the caps and have them repainted, too. But there
seems to be a discrepancy here, as to how the caps are inserted.  Some of
you say that the caps are inserted from the back with the wheels *unmounted*,
and others disagree, saying that's not true - it doesn't apply to MY
wheels.

Here is a *LINK*

to a photo of my wheel.  I see that Westies have different 14" stock
wheels.  Will someone please set me straight as to the nomenclature of my
14" stock wheel, as well as how the center cap is to be reinstalled.  If I
have to have the tires removed to install the caps, no problem.  The guy
where I bought my new Hancook tires will gladly do that for me.
Thanks!
