Default Removing Factory Bed Caps

Need some help. Have been searching but can't really find much. I have the factory bed rail caps on my '01 XLT. I am looking to buy a topper for my truck, soon, and need to take these off. Any input on how to go about this? I can't figure it out Thanks guys.

Remove the plastic oval things that pop out on the inside of the rail, then use an Allen wrench to loosen the bolts, that will release the clamps, then the rails can be pulled off.

They have clamps that secure with Allen head screws and then they are snapped into the stake pockets.

Just undo the screws and pull really hard... if you feel like you're going to break it, you're doing it right.
