Tips for swapping End caps from Prime wheels?

Picked up a Baroudeur wheelset in the firesale. All good apart from i cant remove one of the end caps from the front wheel (other side front comes out fine, as do both sides on the rear wheel, but they seem to have a ridge to purchase some grip on, whereas the one i cant shift doesnt to have a ‘lip’). I need to swap out the TA caps for 9mm QR.

Any tips?

They are push on IIRC. I think I put a rod or screwdriver in and wiggled until there was a gap to pry them off. I don’t recall them being any more complicated than that.

Pop in vice

Pull

@bikerevivesheffield Just tried the “put in vice and pull trick”, but it feels stuck fast.

@joat Yes, definitely just push on, have done both sides on the rear and one side on the front, just the disk side front 12mm TA cap wont budge…when you said you’d jiggled around it with a screwdriver, did you mean you drove out the cap from the other side? If i remove the QR cap from the non-disk side I can get something through, but didnt want to risk causing any damage.

Any other Baroudeur owners have any issues with this? I think there was one review on the Chiggle websites where someone else seemed to have this issue. Did make me pause but when they came down to £95 i thought id risk it.

Also, anyone know how to remove the feeehub body on these?

Cheers

EDIT: just managed to drive out the TA end from the other side, but took a fair bit of force and persuasion! QR 9mm cap dropped in fine…

Hi. I’m looking for the thru axle caps for these wheels if you want to part with them?

I found out yesterday, there’s a tool for that…. https://www.tradeinn.com/bikeinn/en/unior-hub-genie-extractor-tool/137604325/p?utm_source=google_products&utm_medium=merchant&id_producte=10917306&country=uk&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwztOwBhD7ARIsAPDKnkAOO_nHKXxo1Ns-eAw2UTI3wLc2bRDV7x7RgzoOVXOPFM6cA78G2_UaAvjmEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
