Get a large flat chisel and lightly tap all the way around it with a rubber mallet.
It takes awhile, but it should start to move and pop off.
I also had to spray a lot of PB blaster on it

You can also go to Autozone and buy a Grease cap removal tool, for 8 bux; it's basically a big pliers with jaws that'll grip the dust cap, but the methods mentioned above will work just as well. If you bang up the dust caps badly, you can always replace 'em cheaply.
