If the wheels are Steel the hub caps bolt on with the wheel nuts.

If they are Alloy wheels the hubs are screwed on to the wheel by 3 screws at the back. To remove the hub you would need to remove the wheel.

You can if your lucky get the cap off without. Need slim socket (14mm) but better removed.
