Speaker binding posts with plastic covers


My Krell amplifier has speaker binding posts with the clear plastic covers. Apparently these are for EU safety requirements. I want to use spade connectors and have no idea how to open these covers. I’ve wrestled with them but they don’t budge. I don’t even know whether they unscrew or pull out or whether there is some other method at play. Does anyone have experience with these?

I have similar situation and all I did is just busted plastic covers leaving metal screw caps. They don't hold up tight and within the time they will twist off.

Later I've replaced them with brass nuts

@curiousjim Deoxit F5 is specifically designed for switches and has lubricant. Any other Deoxit is also similar to penetrating oil
