To remove and reinstall the rear wheel support plates, first lift the car on a ramp. Then, using a 12 mm socket, unscrew the bolts securing the wheel to remove it. Next, take out the support assembly by unscrewing the relevant bolts.

You can then slide out the first plate by unscrewing the bolts with the appropriate spanner. After that, using a 35 mm socket, remove the other bolt that precedes the second plate.

Proceed to unscrew all the smaller screws to take it off. To reinstall everything, simply reverse all the steps just mentioned, ensuring to clean all parts thoroughly and lubricate them.
