If they are not the type that screw on then there will be a clip at the top, look for ridges either side and squeeze whilst pulling. Sometimes it helps to squeeze the clips and push down before pulling up.

May be get the long nose pliers out, as long as you are careful...

You should try working on French cars, their clips really do break before they come off...

I didn't even know they made those, I just use my fingers or long nose pliers!
