How to remove cap covering X-lites wheels?

I'm trying to rotate my tires today and I realized I have no clue how to remove the cap covering the wheels studs. Can someone clue me in please?

Thanks.

Open your boot, lift up the carpet on the floor so you can see the battery. Wedged in next to the battery is what looks like a styrofoam block. That's your tool kit. Pull it out and open it. Inside you'll find a bend piece of wire that has a loop on one end (for your finger to go through) and a bent tip on the other. Insert the bent tip into one of the little holes in the wheel cap, and make sure the tool is 90 degrees to the cap. Pull and the cap should pop off.
