HI
Determine how the hubcaps are attached. Some simply push on, others have a small screw holding them on, and a few won't come off unless you take the lug nuts off.
Depending on what type of hubcap your car has, either unscrew the screw that holds the hubcap on, or with a large screwdriver or a pry bar, pry the hubcap off the wheel.
place a new hubcap on the wheel.
Strike the edge lightly with a rubber mallet and work around the rim of the hubcap with the mallet until it's seated, or screw the screw back in.
Repeat for each hubcap.
Thanks for contacting fixya.com

You have to remove the lug nuts in order to remove them as they are seated in from behind .....loosen the lug-nuts and jack up the vehicle and remove them this is what keeps them from falling off ..

Automatic Locking Hubs REMOVAL & INSTALLATION The following procedure covers removal & installation only, for the hub assembly. The hub should be disassembled ONLY if overhaul is necessary. In that event, an overhaul kit will be required. Follow the instructions in the overhaul kit to rebuild the hub.
  1. Remove the capscrews and washer from the hub cap. Fig. 1: Exploded view of the automatic locking hubs 84907274.gif

  2. Remove the hub cap and spring.
  3. Remove the bearing race, bearing and retainer.
  4. Remove the keeper from the outer clutch housing.
  5. Remove the large snapring to release the locking unit. The snapring is removed by squeezing the ears of the snapring with needle-nose pliers.
  6. Remove the locking unit from the hub. You can make this job easier by threading 2 hub cap screws into the outer clutch housing and hold these to pull out the unit. To install:
  7. Wipe clean all parts and check for wear or damage.
  8. Coat all parts with the same wheel bearing grease you've used on the bearings.
  9. Position the locking unit in the hub and install the large snapring. Pull outward on the unit to make sure the snapring is fully seated in its groove.
  10. Install the keepers.
  11. Install the bearing retainer, bearing and race. Make sure that the bearing is fully pack with grease.
  12. Coat the hub cap O-ring with wheel bearing grease and install the hub cap.
  13. Install the capscrews and washers. Tighten the screws to 45 inch lbs. (5 Nm).
Manual Locking Hubs The engagement and disengagement of the hubs is a manual operation which must be performed at each hub assembly. The hubs should be placed FULLY in either Lock or Free position or damage will result. WARNING
Do not place the transfer case in either 4-wheel mode unless the hubs are in the Lock position! Locking hubs should be run in the Lock position periodically for a few miles to assure proper differential lubrication. prev.gif next.gif

How do i get the wire hub cap off in order to access the lug nuts? And i'm not sure what this green plastic t-handle does.

The plastic tool you have removes the hub cap. There is a metal end on the one side of the tool to remove the center cap. Pry it off. Then the tool will fit in to the plastic nut that holds the hub cap on.
