Anyone have trouble installing Spinners?

I can't seem to get the center caps off using the provided tool. Anyone else solve this problem?

I do have replica 87s, so maybe the caps are different than OEM?

Mine popped off easily just as stated in the instructions.

Huh? Clean the caps with a little Windex, lightly wet the suction cup, press then pull.

I tried all of that quite a few times, but the caps wouldn't budge. I tried both wheels on the passenger side, and neither of them came out. I figured what's the point of trying the driver side, if I can't get the passenger side out.

As a last resort, take the tire/rim off the X5 and press the cap off from the backside.
