Default Safe way to remove A center caps on wheels to replace with H's?

Just wondering what was the safest way to remove the A center caps to replace them with the H's. I don't wish to scratch or scrape my wheels at all. Any info appreciated. Thanks.

Take wheel off.

Put a cloth on the ground with the cente cap facing the cloth on the ground.

Jab the handle end of a screwdriver on the back side of the center cap.

Should come out. My GS-R caps were like this.

Do what he said, but you can even push the centercaps out with your hands, they aren't in there too tight.

you can get a old credit card and wiggle its way in there and pop it out that way. that's the quickest way. i dont think a plastic card can do any damage either.
