Not sure what wheels you have but try removing the wheel first and look from the inside out. Maybe you can press it out or use a long screw driver for the clip (if it has one).

Steel Grey 2012 ML350 is wife's

I simply drilled a hole (most caps are plastic) inserted a screwdriver into new hole and then popped them out. It's a piece of pie to install new caps. Absolutely no wheel damage and replacement caps are inexpensive.
