Does anyone know how to get the dust cover back on a Long Lee bolt? It seems like you need three hands, to simultaneously get the front edges under the two lugs and the back end up and into the groove near the safety. Is there some trick or special tool I am missing?

Morning GM,
 
I saw your Q on another forum and you seem short of answers!
I don't recall a lot of difficulty when I had one, but time & memory and all that ...
 
I think you just locate it over the lugs, then press down and push forwards and it snaps into place.
 
No special tool needed as far as I know. never had a special tool myself.
Good luck!
 
Richard.

that was my experience as well , placement is crucial but if you study first then push it should snap in place ,
