Default Brake caliper dust shields...

I'm rebuilding the rear calipers on my Carrera... ran into a snag. I'm having difficulty getting the dust covers to stay seated to the caliper. I can't seem to apply enough pressure all the way around them to get them to seat themselves. Is there a trick to this? Or a special tool I need?

BTW, I've never had a caliper apart before this project. I always figured they were a lot more complex than they are!!! Drop dead simple, but effective, technology -- the best kind!
