Default Removing hubcap on 99 vanden plas - RESOLVED

I need to know the best way to remove the hubcap that covers my lug nuts on a 99 vanden plas. I don't want to break anything and I'm notorious for screwing stuff up trying to take stuff apart. I see one slot in the hubcap but just don't want to break anything. Thank you

Should be a place to insert a flathead and just pop it off to get to lug nuts.

You have this style of wheel?

The Spare Wheel Retaining Screw is the tool to use to remove the cap. Insert the flattened end into the slot and gently lever the cap free.
