    • For the back two mud flaps you will need to use a slightly different technique due to the limited space you will be working in.

    • Use your hands and the 10mm wrench piece to unbolt the mud flap.

    • Once you have removed the nuts, you can move on to the #6 3/4" Philips Head Screw.

    • This step will be aided by the use of an extra small Philips screwdriver.
