Do you mean the caps? If so, they are removeable. One of mine came off before when it hit my floor. ---

Why would you want to remove the caps anyway? I thought sunsets were for looping. ---

lol Domin lent his sunset to my friend, my friend didn’t attach it to his finger properly, it flew to the floor, and the caps flew off. I think a suction cup might work, just get an extra big one. If you don’t have that, whack it against a rock. Maybe you can poke a small hole at the sides and pry it out with a knife? ---

Robert Has, but I don’t know how… ??? I’d try poking it with a shape object and prying it out. ---
