Default Wheel removal

I purchased a set of tires for the f150 heritage I recently purchased. The front tire has the spare on it. How do I remove the chrome caps that go over the lug nuts. The chrome center cap is on the wheel that I purchased the new tires for. The other wheels were easy to remove the center cap and remove the lugs.
i have tried to find the answer on Google but have had no luck.
Thanks. You guys are awesome. Every problem I have come across you have made it simple for me to repair.
Thanks again

There are two little grooves on the cap that you will be able to put a flat head screwdriver in either and pry it off.
