Default Rear wheel arch liner nuts (removal)

Hi folks

I'm hoping there is a guru reading this that can guide me as to how to remove the rear wheel arch liner nuts on my tourer, on all the fixings the nut is just turning on its shaft and I can't see any way to stop this happening as it just seems that the nuts are seized, they look like plastic nuts but I'm thinking that they may be push fit, but no amount of tugging will remove them, is there a special way to remove them? Any tips gratefully received!

Thanks Arctic

I decided to loose my rag and butcher them off with a small hammer and chisel, I examined the remains and could not actually see a thread within the nut inner which makes me think that these nuts were press fitted on assembly, I found some small tap washers with a tiny hole in the centre and managed to spin these on the thread of the studs and it's a pretty strong hold , but I must get a small supply of those plastic nuts though.
