I don’t know. Try duct tape, let it sit for a minute, then yank hard.

Suction cups seem to be a reliable way to get any cap off. Hope it works.

A local player here had a lot of trouble getting his lateral caps off his Quest. He tried a bunch of stuff but I think he eventually just drilled a small hole in them and used that to pry them off. Hopefully you have better luck than him.

I get my caps of my dark magic by using hot glue on them and let it cool and pull it of that way bot you need a hot glue gun.Once the caps are of simply remove the hot glue.I use hot glue becuse it is easy to take of.Hope this helped. :wink:
