dumb question: how to remove the factory alloy center caps without breaking?

OK, so I am missing 2 of them and have been watching ebay and they bring $40-$50 used. Thus the strong eBay market tells me they fall off and/ or break easy when removing. I have not had to remove one yet but need to today. Is there a trick so I dont crack them or something?

Just grab them with both hands and wiggle as you pull. I've seen some come right off, others need more wiggling and pulling.
