Need to replace the bearings in a DT 240s front hub I'm about to build up. However I cant seem to pull the QR endcaps off. They're so tight! Tried some flat pliers and gingerly tried the vice too.

Any magic tips on getting them off?

If you're replacing the bearings anyways you might as well spray some WD 40 in there to try and loosen things up.

There is also a small lip on the inside of the end cap, you can use your skewer to tap it out gently

yep, just sprayed.

Tried the QR on the lip but slips alot. Might need to sacrifice a skewer and bend it slightly.
