[TR] 1972 Triumph TR6

[Greg Lemon]

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.
