The vintage Full Chaincase installation thread

Hello everybody,
I recently received this beauty: Vintage Bike Bicycle Chain Gaurd Guard Chaincase Full Raleigh Replica | eBay
It is a replica of a Raleigh full chaincase. I got it for my Eastman roadster and I cannot wait to install this baby! However, I searched through the net for a complete guide (with pictures) that explains how to handle it and I could not find much. Thus, I decided to create this thread, with the hope that some of you seasoned riders will be able to provide a detailed guide for these chaincases. Anyway, down to business:
1. How should I remove the plate cover? Sheldon Brown says it's like "removing a paint can lid" but I have never opened one, lol.
2. My Eastman roadster does not have a hole behind the right crank. Is it still possible to install it, or how should I modify my bike to fit the case?
3. My roadster does have removable seat stays, so I suppose this should make the installation easier.

I appreciate your help!!!
Alex
