Take my centercaps off without removing my wheels?  I did it on my old wheels/centercaps is all I know.  I could dent/ding them up.  Where I live no one has a torque wrench to put the wheels back on with.  They say to come back in a couple of days to have them re-torque!  Yeah, I don't want to do that.  I was wondering if y'all knew of a way.  Thanks!! 

I am anal, so I want them damn near perfect.  At least I can try!!

You should just break down and buy a torque wrench.Sears has them on sale for the fathers day sale.If you do any work on your car your self it won't be a waste of money.Besides $50-80 spent on a torque wrench will be a hell of alot cheaper then fixing your car if a wheel came off.I would think if you were that anal you would own one.Most shops have the color coded torque extensions for the impact guns anyway.I personally would not let a person near my wheels with one of those.

Sorry, my messed up brain does not work like that. I am terrible at doing anything now! I put in the gas, and that's about it. I want to buy a wrench, but have no clue on what to buy. I just found out where I could buy them at, from you.

Yeah, I'm not so smart these days!!
