To remove the body trim buttons and also for removing your axle-nut
'cups'...get a dandelion garden tool.  True Value garden dept. or any place
like that.  They look like a big screwdriver that got stuck in a
wringer..The tip is flattened with a notch cut in the middle of the flat.  A
bit of a bend is there also to let you slip it behind the panel and pry the
buttons loose from behind the panel.  They also work to remove the dust cap
from your axles.  The flat part gets a grip under the little lip on the dust
cap and the bend allows you to pry the cap against the wheels shape.
  A couple of bucks...and if you have a yard and dandelions, you can do
that, too.  Poke it into the dirt and cut off the dandelion below the
surface of your lawn..
