"In this clip, we're going to be working on taking off the back tail end of the bike, so we can go ahead and get to that exhaust. We're going to start first by taking our Allen Wrench bolts off. That's going to be right here. Go ahead and use your five millimeter Allen Wrench and you're going to take off all four bolts. There's going to be one in each corner. This is going to be the first one right here. Taking that one off and then go ahead and continue by taking all four off. For the last two, the ones back here, should all be the same size. Then like I said before, make sure you put away all your bolts in a nice safe place. Try to remember the order that you've taken them off so when you reassemble your bike, you can make sure you put them back together in the right spot. Some bolts are going to be longer than the others. The ones in the front were shorter. These ones are longer. We're going to separate these to make sure we put them back in the correct spot in the rear section. Go ahead and take off your last bolt. Next, we're going to be taking off these plastic clips right here. I'm just going to use a regular Phillips Screwdriver and unscrew them. Don't go too hard because they are plastic and can strip them. You just want to go real gently. You're just going to unscrew them like so and pop them right out. Go ahead and unscrew these, they'll become loose. I've got my finger underneath it, so I'm going to be pushing it up as it comes out. Then once you got, you can twist it with your hand a little bit. Then it'll pop right out. Mine, it came apart but that's fine, you can just go ahead and pull it right out then. There I go, just like that. That plastic part, it looks like that, it'll pop right out. Make sure you keep those together and don't lose the pieces. Then go ahead and do the other side when you're done."
