Default Brake Duct Screens

This is probably a stupid question, but how do you install the screens for the front brake ducts. I have already installed the fog light screens and the side cove vent screens, but the brake ducts screens have no instructions. I order them from Eckler's and their catalog simply says pressure fit.
What do I need to remove to get this in place. I know they do not simply go in from the front of the ducts, so something need to be removed. Any help would be appricated.

I install them from the front. I tape up the area around the duct with painter's tape to protect it and then push the brake duct back into the fascia a bit, slip the screen in between the duct and inner fascia surface and pull the fascia forward to trap the screen between the duct and fascia.
