Default Kitchen mixer tap

Can anyone tell me how to remove the hot and cold knobs/taps each side
of this mixer? I can remove the neck/spout (grub screw at back) but I
can't get into the taps. They are working loose and the red and blue
indicators fall out of place.

There is no sign of any grub screws and I've tried working the caps of
the taps off with a screwdriver but nothing doing.

Pretty sure the end pieces (not the ribbed bits) are threaded and should
unscrew (limescale notwithstanding.)

Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?

Yes I'd be trying to pry out Stanley knife blade, small
screwdriver) or unscrew (rubber glove) those end caps
too.

Certainly not me. I watched the plumber attempting to do this using
an adjustable spanner when the broke the tap and I needed a new one!
