i see the four nuts that you can remove, do you just use force and pull the caps off?

yes, i believe you can just pull. there are double sides tape so that makes it even harder to remove.

Do a search and you'll find the answer. I don't have time right now, or else I would do the search for you. Chuckb posted up some pictures a while back showing exactly what the door looks like under the cladding. I believe there was a step by step instruction on how to remove them in the thread.

Here you go. You can ignore the stuff about replacing the rubber molding at the bottom of the door. Just check out the links posted by Chuckb:
