You don't need to disassemble much, just place a wrench on the cap and another (14mm?) on the nut just below the cap and loosen. Once loose the cap will spin right off the shaft.

I feel stupid. That was super easy to get the caps off. I installed both shrader valves and pumped up with air to 20 psi. One side leaked down in 5 seconds. The other side held good for a while. After a few times airing up and down that second side is now leaking air. Maybe more Teflon tape will fix it. Too late to investigate now.
