Fitting dust shield to front hub

Post

Has anyone fitted the dust shields to the front hubs with out dismantle the hub ?

Guess the only way to fit them without cracking the hub nut and dismantle t is to cut away a section so it slides over/around  the hub DB492AC3-3DCB-43CD-B18A-CE15F60B1B57.jpeg

If you manage to get the old bolts out then yes the only way to fit it without taking the hub off is cut a section out and slide it on, just make sure you put it on the right way round so it curves away from the disc.
