Often the cap is held on with an allen screw or a hidden clip and you should have a little thing like a bottle opener that you insert in a slot to flick the cover off.

If it's like mine, the centre is in two pieces - the centre bit has two slots visible at the edge to pry with a screwdriver. This flies off and then the other (outer) bit of the centre falls into the road.

These pics may clarify.......

If you still haven't got them off, just find one of your local scroats (aka thieving bastards) who will no doubt oblige in the blink of an eye.
