IMO removing them manually is too invasive and should only be done if it is causing problems or if there are several retained eyecap layers. Some people like to use tape to take it off, but again I believe this method is too invasive. No harm is done to let it stay on til the next hsed. Make sure you increase the humidity, espcially when he goes into his next shed, and it should come off on its own just fine
