Removing Center Cap

[TomCat]

Can the stock center caps (Blue Ford Emblem) be popped without removing the wheels and having to get at them from behind?
Don't want to damage the stock caps (or rims), but want to avoid removing the wheels if at all possible.
Very close to ordering these, which are actual caps and not an overlay:

You can remove the center caps with a small thin blade screwdriver. Put some masking tape on the wheel/screwdriver and put the screw driver between the cap and wheel and gently pry with even pressure, they will pop out. It didn't take to much force either, and no damage to the caps or wheels. I have the same caps.

Use a plastic trim tool.

I wonder if those will work in the Pro Race 1.2 wheel hub bores.

Anyone with 1.2s try??

The stock center caps did not fit on my Pro Race 1.2's. It wasn't a problem for me as I was planning to use the ones that came with them anyway.

Thanks Flaco and Canadian Guy for the suggestions.
Glad to hear that they pop out fairly easy

Well, I got the caps off but maimed them in the process. No biggie as I can't foresee re-using them anyway.
For future reference, the caps are a a plastic fitting with an aluminum overlay. When prying, the overlay separated from the fitting (at least for me) and got bent to hell removing it. The plastic caps were still attached to the wheel but popped out easily by inserting a small screwdriver into one of the three holes and prying.
Here is a crappy cell phone pic of the carnage:
