Thanks for the tips, guys!
I'll try the light hammer and chisel first. I do have a Dremel, so that
will be my back up plan. I'll be sure to scope out the caps once it's
open.
And yes, a lot of effort for a part that is normally easily replaced,
but as I said, I'm out of the country so it would be sometime in October
at best before any replacement could get to me.
