Just keep trying. If you don’t want the caps, poke a hole through them with a knife andremove them. ---

Mix some mild cleaning solution with water (dish soap works well) and apply this to the cap and the suction cup. This mixture helps create a stronger seal to be able to remove the cap. Make sure that you don’t get any water in or around the bearing. I recommend taking it out while doing this. ---

Use the rounded part of any pair of pliers, ad just wiggle it out. This wont cause any damage unless you use a very very large amount of force. ---
