I would just remove the hub cap . Removal of the hub cap may require the removal of the wheel to bend back tabs
If you have an extra wheel and tire without a hub cap ,
maybe you could temporarily use it and save having to remove the hub cap on your nice painted wheel .
After the axle nut is retorqued the original wheel can be replaced
The 28-29 hubcaps can sometimes be snapped off like a modern hubcap
