Removing wheel liners

My 2009 Holiday Rambler Admiral came with Wheel Master braided tire valve extensions. One of them is a little frayed so I decided to replace it, simple job right?

My RV also came with Wheel Master Wheel Liners and I need to get these off first.



As you can see from the image the liner has 10 nut covers, 5 are nut shaped and 5 are rounded. The "T" tool provided with the motorhome fits the nut shaped covers but they won't budge, the tool starts to bend first. I can't figure out if the rounded ones come off or not.

Anyone have any ideas on how to remove this wheel liner? From some reading it seems that 5 of these covers hide the actual wheel nuts, the other 5 hide some combination of dummies and the nuts holding on wheel liner. But what is what and how do I get this thing off.

Thanks,

Martin

  • Not sure if mine are the same, but there are two lugs that actually hold the cover onto the wheel. The ones that can be removed have a dimple or two on the side of the chrome nut. The others won't do anything. Hope that helps. Mine take a 1-1/8" socket.
  • Not quite the same, but my wheel liners are simply hubcaps and come off that way. The "nuts" on the wheel liners are simply dummies and part of the liner.
