for the dust covers should be just pull off ,clean caliper , slip new ones on
should have a lip which sits in a groove in the caliper body and a lip that sits on the piston-lubricate with brake fluid to make it slip on easier
no harder than putting on a rubber johnny
got an old caliper at home i can pull apart and take pics of to show you what i mean if you want
