Spare Wheel Removal

I can't figure out how to remove my spare wheel. There's what appears to be a nut (see pics) but with a small hole in it. Not much room around it and I haven't figured out how it comes off if it is actually a nut or just a cover.
Any suggestions welcome.

It will be soft tin like so give a poke with screw driver or put a bigger size socket in and just jiggle it off or screw a long screw in hole and yank it off.
Wine improves with age.
The older I get the more I like it

I assume you have the special socket with the three pin/holes in it?
IF IT AINT BROKE, KEEP FIXING IT UNTIL IT IS

Tried the screw method but not enough traction for the screw to grip.
Tried long nose pliers - no give, feels rock solid.
Stuck screwdriver and plier tips into existing hole. Think I’ve widened it slightly, that’s all!
No socket set to try that - will need to borrow one. Likewise the pipe pliers.

If its soft(ish) metal you could try and chisel it off with a sharp screwdriver and a hammer assuming that you can get to it easily enough - maybe try and get one side of it chiselled off and the rest will follow?

Really hard to tell to be honest, due to it being recessed.

Unfortunately I can't get at it to try this.

Not straight on, but this should give you an idea.
