Step 6Cut Off Dust Caps
The dust caps need to be cut off with a razor, an Exacto knife or the like. Be as neat as you can because this is the one area where you can mess up. If your caps are dented up, now is a good time to make them nice again. Either take them all the way off or leave them with a little thread or hinge to fold them back. The hinge works great but makes un-denting them harder.
To un-dent, use a form and a hair dryer. Soften them up with a dryer and put them over a form like a tennis ball and put them into shape. If they won't hold their shape you can use some spray starch for clothing on them.
Try not to get stuff under the dust cap. Blow them out with a can of air or compressor.
