I had the same question. Turns out it's an 8mm nut on the upper inside of the rear fender. It is likely hidden beneath a few layers of undercoating and muck. I don't know if you can get to it at all without removing the rear wheel. These photos show what you're dealing with:
  Don't forget that at the top (the phillips screw) there's a plastic barrel spacer between the trim and the body. It's there to prevent over-tightening the screw and bending the trim. Don't loose it when you finally remove the trim. Or if you loose it, don't forget to make/buy another one before you reinstall the trim. |

I just did this the other day too.
I needed a 8mm 1/4"-drive deep socket. I also had to get the wheels off, get up in there with a wire brush and some WD-40 to clear all the undercoating and rust first. BTW - if you are in the mood for a turretts laden moment (or two hours), just try to get the little plastic clip/disks off of the engine cover end pieces shown missing in the pictures above while having a bad back.... |
