Wheel Covers

How do I remove the chrome wheel covers on my 2014 Four Winds E 450 chassis? The valve stem extenders are not working correctly, and I can't get at them through the small holes in the wheel covers.

I purchased a grip-on tools tire & hub cap remover which worked perfectly. Once I had the wheel covers off I decided it was easier to leave them off. It's still a chore to check the pressure in the outside duals but it's one less hassle not dealing with the rear wheel covers.

Thanks. I went out and pried them off with the tire iron from my Toyota, and the one popped right off. The holes in the wheels are not much bigger, but I probably get the stem extensions off if needed.
It did raise another problem. A panel in front of the left duals seems to be rubbing on the inside tire at highway speeds. It isn't connected on the inside, so when the air pushes on it, it pushes into the tire. Since it is a new rig, I'll put it all on the list for them to fix in the next week or so.
