Can anyone tell me how to remove the rear mudguard (X1) there are four bolts and three of them screw into rubber inserts which turn when the bolt turns.
I tried cutting the rubber off one to find a metal inner but there is no way I can ge5 a grip on he front one which is inset into the guard. :ffs:

I’ve tried that, and there is no way to hold the front one.
I have seen loads of X1s on here without the splat guard so someone must have a solution.

i think its a steel bolt into a brass ferule
so you could grind the bolt head off carefully maybe a dremmel or similar tool
