I don't think the center cap comes off. I don't remember now. I thought the center cap was part of the steering wheel itself. I think the steering wheel has an allen set screw in the side of it, and you remove the steering wheel that way. Man, I'll havta' look at my 620's and see. Its been a while......

There are probably only a handful of people in the country that know how to do it without breaking it, but I am not one of them. You may inquire on the Facebook group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/910185059072069/

Normal steering wheels have a cap you pry off, that reveals a nut, remove that nut and hopefully you can pull the wheel off.
The 620 steering wheel appears to have a cross bolt securing it to the steering shaft. Remove the bolt take and off the wheel? And then maybe, IF it does come off, pop it out from the shaft hole.
OK, why? My wheel center cap doesn't have a A/C logo on it, just plain smooth black.
I wanted to see if I could get one or make one.
Alternate idea of putting a round stick on decal may be the easy route.

So maybe when you get down to fussing about decals it may be time to stop and get a real project. Anybody have a basket case Minneapolis-Moline Five Star?

I have done this successfully but it will take some explaining of what I used.
In the fire service, ladders are attached to the sides of some engines & trucks.  When they are attached to the sides, they are held on with spring loaded "hooked" clamps.  over time, these clamps wear heavily on the aluminum rungs.  So stainless steel "arced" protectors are riveted to the rungs to protect the aluminum from the wear.
That being said, I use one of those rung protectors with a brass hammer to gently break through the epoxy that the cap is held in place with & gently pry it out.  You can not simply knock it out from the underside.  It's a tedious ordeal but worth it if you have an Allis center cap you want installed.
