You can use a piece of masking tape, NOT something as sticky as duct tape.



Roll it, sticky side out, around your finger and CAREFULLY tap the stuck eye cap. I've done it several times and the old cap will pull away using this method. Don't stick it to the new eye cap either.



Make sure its an old eye cap.



Or, the safer method, you can put K-Y gel on it and it should come off next shed. Use K-Y (its water based) NOT Vasoline.
