How do I remove the caps from the handlebar bolts?

Well my clubman bars from azmotorsports http://store.azmusa.com/knclubhanbla.html came in the mail today. I wanted to try placing the new bars on to see what they'd look like, but I can't seem to easily remove the caps covering the bolts on the handlebar clamps.  My Clymer's manual just says 'remove the caps', it doesn't give me any tips. I tried one of those tiny screwdrivers to see if I could pop it off but it didn't budge. Is there a trick to getting the caps off?

Screwdriver, flathead. Or fingernails work also. Knife..

I don't know of any tricks, but try your finger nails and a couple different size
flat heads.  Maybe you could try a pick or hook tool if you have one.  Might take some fiddling, but they should just pop off.

Ah-ha! I was smoking crack or something. I didn't know exactly where the cap ended and the bolt began.  I was trying to pry the bolt up.  Got the caps off, thanks!  :oops:
