Ideas for getting end caps off??

Bolts were finger tight but RTV doing one hell of a job.

Tried exacto knife but not getting anywhere.

Can't use any kind of solvent..... Imagine it'd screw up CF??

Heard of dental floss for debadging. Out of ideas.

Thanks for input

 

Start on the bottom. Once you break part of the seal the rest will be easy. Its just getting it started.
