I'm assuming the center cap pops off and there's a nut underneath, but I don't want to force it and break the plastic.
Tips? I searched but didn't find anything helpful.

Push the center cap in and rotate counter clockwise. Either disconnect the battery or endure the horn honking for a few seconds. Be careful of the wire that connects the button to the steering column.

Once you get the button off you will see the nut. You may or may not need a puller to remove the wheel itself. I seem to have mine often enough that it comes off with just a good tug. Also there is a large spring between the nut and the pad.
