Default C5 Rear Rotor Hub Cover Install

Any tricks to installing rotor hub covers on rear wheels on a 2000 FRC? It looks like caliper mounting bracket may need to be removed to get cover lip under. What is that procedure and cautions, torque values, etc. No problems putting on the fronts at all. Any help appreciated. Tryiing to do this with a bad back issue.

You need to lift the rear in order to break the caliper mounting bolts loose. These are torqued to 125 lbs/ft. Once loose the covers will slide on.
