Remove wheel and nut covers on rear wheels?

I have aSunseeker 2020 3010DS and want to remove the rear wheel and lug nut covers to torque the wheel studs. Do I need any special tool to remove the center wheel cover and or the studs covers? Also I’m assuming my owners manual should have the torque lbs listed? Appreciate feedback.
Thanks

if you are talking about the thin shells over the lug nuts, they are factory pressed on and not intended to be removed, BUT, they do get loose especially if an impact wrench is used on them a few times, ... when they do come loose they will spin on the nut and it will be almost impossible to remove that nut without some special effort or special tool, ... a terrible thing to discover on the side of the road with a flat tire, ... it is advised to replace all lug nuts with that shell, with solid nuts, not too expensive and well worth the cost to avoid the roadside incident, ...

Not sure if you have wheel liners but if you do they are typically held on with 2 or 3 of these. Notice the notches on the side. That is an indication of which ones are removable. Usually the MH comes with the "T" handle socket to remove them.

If you are referring to a hubcap like cover it can be pried off with a large flat blade screwdriver or a rocker type pry bar.

And a rubber mallet is handy for putting them back on.

Yup. Tombsy covered both activities for Sunseekers/Foresters when it comes to removal and re-installation of the “hub caps” wheel covers.

Got it done. My son used his Snap On torque wrench and the specs were in the owners manual. A few of the lugs tightened up some. Front and rear wheel and nut covers are all one piece. Made is easy!
