I have probably put over 200 of these together and can now do the procedure in less than 15 minutes. Here is how you do it:
Put all the chrome on except for the hook. I have found that many hooks have chrome that has gotten into the holes so I always run a tap in the holes to clean them out first. Put the hook through the small hole below the scuff plate. Have the two screws that hold the hook on already in the holes at the end of the hose hook lever. Put the lower part of the front cover in place while putting the hook under the two screws. With a long screw driver tighten the screws into the hook.
Since I have gone this far, let me give you a little tip about fitting the covers.
Now that the hook and front cover are on, the front cover must be fitted into the frame. Fit the top first and work down to one of the corners, if it doesn't slip in you will have to tap it in using a screw driver and a hammer. Hit the cover near the very edge you are trying to get in, this way if the paint chips it will be in a place where it is hard to see and easy to touch-up, or won't be seen because it will be in the frame. Don't hit it with the side of your hand, I did this the one time on the first day of Fall Carlisle, I then had to vend for two weeks with a broken hand. The same with the back cover, they never seem to fit correctly and always need to be tapped in, so do it at the bottom of the cover.
