Do yourself a favor and put WD-40 on it first. Next requires a lot of twisting and pulling. I used a flat head as a wedge to help at times.

This works
I let the WD40 sit over night so it really settles in, makes it alot easier to come out.

Yep, like others said, put some WD-40 on there, let it sit for as long as you can (i know its exciting when you mod your car
) and then start twisting left and right, it will come off with a little force.

OMG!!! those tips are tight as hell, it wouldn't budge at all, lol. So, there aren't any taps or screw holding the tips at all?
