How to remove the central section...
I have a VW Mk1 Golf Klipper 1989 model that I purchased this time last year. It came fitted with the aforementioned Split Rims and I am, hopefully, taking them to be refurbished next week. So I tried to take a wheel off today and failed miserably! I have the special black plastic tool to undo the centre piece however all four wheels just keep turning and turning! Ive tried to 'snap' the centre in order to try and undo and I've turned slowly to see if I can feel a point which would allow the removal. Ive avoided the temptation to place a covered screwdriver to prize the centres off.
So, any advice?
Thanks in advance.

I am sure it is going to be something simple but it is proving rather tricky!
I assume you didn't use the black plastic 'hex' tool? Just hands?

Apparently the centres on these simply 'popped off' as oppose to undoing with the 'hex' spanner. This, quite evidently, was a bit of a red herring as the spanner was supplied with all the bits and pieces in the boot when purchased.
Anyway, resolved. Thanks guys for your support and speedy responses, impressive.
