Well, there’s another way I used. try using something strong and pointy like a compose needle or a needle. Try jabbing a hole in the caps and pushing the needle up to pop off the caps. This will make your caps ungly and useless though. ---

You can get a piece a of tape , preferably duck tape, Place the tape on the cap and pull(but this might leave some adhesive that you can just scratch off) ;D ;D 😃 😃 Hopes this helps… it works(Just not every time) ---

Or you can throw it as hard as you can against a wall. It worked for me. ---

I used Duct Tape for mine… Then I put one back in backwards by mistake and it would not come out so I stabbed it and pulled it out with a fork. Good luck! ---

Take a thumb tack, the pointy needles, and stab it a little. Pull out.
