    Hi,
    It does not matter if it is soft or hard plastic, both will come off. Both just fit over a washer to hold them on.
    Hard plastic should pry off, Soft plastic can shrink and get stubborn with age; sometimes prying or getting something under one spot. I have used a pair of slip-joint pliers, grabbed the center and slowly and forcefully wiggled back and forth.
    Peace,
    Clarke
