I just went through this procedure with my restored 98. The first time, I attached all the chrome pieces on the front cover, put the front cover on and attempted to attach the airhose bracket by tipping the front cover down enough to screw on the hose holder to its base. Well I couldn't get the screws tight enough on the bracket, plus it was very awkward tring to bear down on the screws to say the least. It came to me that night in bed, to remove the front cover, attach the hose bracket ( with nut and screw this time)to the base, remove the scuff plate from the cover, replace the front cover and then tip the cover down enough for the attachment of the scuff plate screws from behind. Much easier!!! Hope this helps, I wish I would have asked before attempting.
