its easier to take the wheel off and pop them out that way, they have really small clips that snap off if you try and pry them off (happened to dads truck)

Like mentioned pulling the wheels is about the only real way.

Or slide something very thin in between to pry it out. I've done that before, just be a bit careful. I think I used an exacto blade :?

I used a very thin letter opener to take my old ones out.

I got a set for a 98 GP off of ebat and they fit fine

L27 buick has them on his also.
