You slip the black trap caps off. If the traps have been up in the weather for a while, it may be difficult to remove them without breaking them. You can order replacement caps from Cushcraft. I think they were $1.30 apiece when I last ordered them. When I refurbushed my A3S in 2001, I replaced all all 24 caps.
