I've been able to pry them off gently without completely destroying them 
- but then I've destroyed a few also. Mine have a hole in the center - 
and I've tried using a small slide hammer (with a screw on the business 
end screwed into the hole) but it usually just fails by enlarging the 
hole. So the prying method is all I figured out.

I find that this type of prybar with gentle hammer action works well =
with grease caps. Use a large socket that contacts the outer =

Normally if you use a chisel and hammer around the edge where it meets 
the hub, working your way around the outer edge you can get it to break 
loose and not do too much harm to the dust cap.

I don't start out that way, but I usually end up that way.  Allegedly you
can put a screw in through the little hole and drive them off, but all that
does for me is make the little hole into a big hole.

On my VWs, those caps would last a hundred years, but Triumphs
are...different.

I always keep new caps in stock now.

I have always tapped with a large  screwdriver close to the base angled as
much as possible to push outwards.  The caps may get a little buggered up,
but still usable.  I believe there is a little ridge you can catch with the
screwdriver to assist with the process.  Just firm gentle taps until it
starts moving.

I used to do the slide hammer thing with a screw, but a screwdriver and
hammer is always handy and works well.  The caps are pretty sturdy.

On the so called =E2=80=9CBig=E2=80=9D Healeys, the dust caps have a =

 No......just use a chisel and tap around the edge, or you can put a big sc=
rew in the hole in the center and just pop it off.

Don't worry about destroying them. New ones are very inexpensive.  
I bought a new set and welded a 1/4" nut in the center and use a bolt to remove the caps.  I have shortened bolts, actually stainless allen key cap screws to fill the hole.

I've finagled them off with a pair of vicegrips... er locking pliers.  =

I've also seen caps with a hole drilled in the center where a screw can =

Too late at this point, but for years a neat fix suggested has been to =
solder/weld a small nut to the inside of the cap so that screwing the =
bolt through that hole has much better grip.

I don't start out that way, but I usually end up that way.  Allegedly =
you can put a screw in through the little hole and drive them off, but =
all that does for me is make the little hole into a big hole.=20

On my VWs, those caps would last a hundred years, but Triumphs =
are...different.

I always keep new caps in stock now. =20
