If you want to remove the caps off a throw monkey to replace the axle bolt; is removing the caps that same as you would remove the caps off a freehand zero? Like unscrewing it and using the axle to pop it off against a hard surface. And do the caps snap back into place once you remove them?

TM caps are just cardboard discs, should be able to pop them right out with the axle bolt. And yes, they’ll snap right back in place.

Would the pressure from the bolt damage the cap since its cardboard? like bend it or poke a hole in it?

Nope, they’ll just pop out.
