Use 2 hammers. Stick claw on the tiny indent & wedge it against the hub. Smack the upturned hammerhead with a second hammer. I used a small axe. Rotate around the cap & it will pop right out.

I'm gonna say what I said last time I saw this.

NEVER HIT A HAMMER WITH ANOTHER HAMMER. Hammers are made harder than what they hit, i.e., chisels, nails etc. When they hit each other, they can fracture and bury a metal fragment in your head or other body part. Even safety glasse may not be good enough, but are certainly a must.

Now you can take this advice from a seasoned carpenter, or not. But, I have read that such a fragment hit an artery of a worker once and it was lights out permanently for the poor soul.
