They punch out from the other side. Finger pressure would do it. You could also pry them off carefully with a plastic screwdriver like electricians use, or any implement like that.

if you don't want to take off the wheel, use good duck tape, with a fold to grab on to and give it a quick yank !!!!!!!!

Suction cup is less cleanup. The kind used to hang bathroom stuff like a shave mirror is usually the right size.
