tiny screwdrivers, you'll need at least two.
I had the same caps and they will come apart if you are easy on them.

Put a jewelers screwdriver in each tab on one side to get them to come loose. Push it just a few mm through then do the other side.


Be glad you have the two peice caps, there are others that don't come apart.

Mine were impossible to get off. I just snapped them all off, bought emblem adhesive, and reapplied later.

Maybe do a pre-soak over night. Might help them come off easier. Adhesive remover or nail polish remover would probably work good, but it also might fuck up the finish. Depends on what you want to do with them after.

Could always try soap and water to be on the safe side.

it sucks, but i was able to do it with a normal flat head. i would push one clip inward (i believe) while simultaneously pushing down, youll have to do one clip at a time. after i got my first cap done it was fairly easy and took me about 10 min overall. yo umigh snap a clip or two but its no big deal.
