Are you saying to wrap a cloth around a screwdriver and pry up? Do you have to pry all the way around once you get it started or do they pop off? I'm sorry but I don't want to damage them but in similar positions in the past and they didn't all work out right. I have heard stories about these being damaged during wheel changes. I found an old thread that said to use a credit card (Andrew). How would you fit a credit card in the narrow slot?
