Does anyone know a way to remove dust covers off e92 without cutting them?

Fronts come off with a few small bolts after removing the rotor. For the rears you need to remove the hub and parking brake, which is ridiculous.

Rears can come off around the hub if you cut them in the most narrow spot. Garden clippers can work in a pinch after you've unbolted the 4 bolts holding it to the knuckle

I don't even notice them on mine.
FWIW they are not hard to cut. I had to cut a bit when I installed the BBK. A cutoff wheel will work fine.

Good idea on the cutting wheel.

Tin snips should work fine as well. A dremel if you have a lot of spare time.
