Installing covers can be tricky, and can lead very quickly to a destroyed pickup. The heat required to get the solder to stick to both the base of the pickup and the cover is much higher than to solder a control pot, for example, because they are both good heat sinks. Because of this, you can actually wind up melting the plastic parts of the pickup!
If this is your first attempt, I recommend taking the pickups to a good repairer so you don't have to wind up buying two new pickups.
Good luck,
John
