Covers on lug nuts 2019 Micro Minnie 2108DS

[Simonsen 82]

Hi all, I’m trying to take off my tires but think May have covers over the lug nuts? A couple of questions : does anyone know if my 2019 micro minnie 2108DS have caps on the lug nuts and how do I get them off. Also noticed that 1/2- 20 is scribed on the covers. Any help would be much appreciated!

Since you are trying to take them off and not finding the solution, I would guess that you have what is called "wheel simulators" (hubcaps? that also cover the lugnuts)

Not familiar with the trailers but this fits for motorhomes.

If is looks like you have really thin nuts that do nothing, there is a secret!
There are likely two false nuts which DO unscrew to reveal the gizmo that holds the sim which you remove to get to the real lugnuts.

These two will have slot looking spaces about 1/4 inch long pressed into the side. If you spot that, remove those false nuts.

Sometimes it is hard to spot the slots, so a second method is to use something like the end of a screwdriver to tap on each of the false nuts and two of them will sound much different from all the others!

Hope that fits for what you have ?

If you have a tool similar to the one in this post you do have wheel simulators,

I have the same trailer... 2020 model. I have the same lugs your describing. I just found out today as I repacked my bearings and reinstalled the wheels. The steel lug has a cheap appearing stamped steel wrap over it. I found and took a picture of a small crack in one of my lug wraps. I would think I should be able to purchase 20 plus a few extra, nice solid lug nuts and scrap the oem ones.
My 15" wheels have a center piece similar to the picture in Morich's post but my 5 lugs are
exposed/accessible and the center trim is held against the hub by the wheel, covering only the grease cap.
