I was able to get the wheel covers off using the tip of the jack handle. And a lot of leverage, but they popped off without getting mangled or dinging the wheels. (Yeah, I put a paper towel folded up so as not to ding the wheels). Amateur, but I didn't screw stuff up doing it. I leave that to the professionals.

Holy cow, what happened to your wheels? Could be just how it looks in the picture... I was upset about mine being dinged up from changing the positions of the weights at the the tire shop. And crumpling the wheel covers taking them off and not saying anything. That's why they have my wheels at the tire shop. To get them refinished. I've ordered Centramatics to put on when I get them back. Hopefully they see the note not to balance them before returning them to me lol.

Update; I'm not sure what the dealer is responsible for in this case but I thought that before they can sell a used vehicle they had to make sure all the safety items had to be in good repair. I guess I'll just wait until I need new tires and get sensors then. Maybe by that time Ford will have addressed the ongoing aluminum wheel rim hole decay from electrolysis and list a rubber valve stem with sensor that is approved for the weight rating of this truck.
