Prize them out with a flat bladed screwdriver is easiest.

Penry, the mild-mannered janitor? ...Could be!

Drill a 3mm hole (if there isn't already one there) on the top of the dome, and wind in the biggest self tapper you can find. Then you should be
able to get mole grips onto the screw head
Better still, if you have a slide hammer, fit the self tapper into the slide hammer and use that.

Knock it sideways working around the cap not hard enough to dent it and it should climb out of the hub.I generally use a 2lb ball pein patent
adjuster!
