The dust cover you are trying to remove IS spring-loaded! You still have the speedometer drive cable attached. CAREFULLY remove the small clip / E-ring from the end of the square drive stub, and that will release the cable from the cap. After that, the cap can be removed easily.

How do I remove the hubcapon the driverside (the one protecting the
hub nut on the steering knukle /spindle)

IT feels like it is springloaded, and there is a small square stub
protruding from the middle of the hubcab.

No idea here.
