Removing AL Peakhand Caps

What is the best way to remove the caps from the aluminum peakhand? I haven’t been able to get one off with a suction cup and im a little afraid to go after it with a box cutter as i dont want to damage the caps or the anno.

I’m not sure if it’s like the Butterfly AL in that the axle hole was open into the cup. So I could take a small ball pump with a ball needle on it, wrap a little tape around the needle so it seals into the axle screw hole, give a few pumps and… POP!!

Were you able to figure this out?
I haven’t had any success with anything. Even pushing with a steel rod from the axle hole doesn’t work. The caps just don’t budge at all

Did you try a bike pump? What Slestak just described should work. You just need to make sure the tape surrounding the needle on the pump actually creates a firm enough seal so that the air actually pushes against the cap, instead of just blowing back out towards the pump.
