Any tips or trick on how to remove a t5 front fender. All hardware has been removed and the fender moves freely however I cannot seem to manipulate the fender over the steering blocks or bottom race of steering bearing. Any suggestions? Thank you. N

Twist it at an angle to first clear the "end" block and then do the same to pass the bottom bearing…

Went down to the garage. Although it's a plastic PX mudguard (thicker) you get the idea... https://youtu.be/NNNUf3qMdpQ Positive

The lower bearing race had to come off, then the dust shield, then the fender could be removed. Major PITA. But if it clears like Safis' shows, you are golden.

Can't remove the fender on a VNA/VNB without removing the dust shield and race. Such a pain in the butt.
