Cheap prybar (harbor freight, big lots, etc.); wrapped three layers thick
with the duct tape of your choice, except the last 1/4" at the tip. Work the cap
loose from at least three locations around the outside, little by little, and
you won't have any damage to the cap. It also helps to have a soft place for
the cap to fall on when it pops loose (a jacket, duffle bag, your knee) so you
won't bang it up. I learned that the hard way removing the stock caps from our
'61 Impala; one of the plastic centers got dinged as it rattled to the ground.
