Rob :  (realize I might need reading glasses if I need to do this more than once) Flip bike  Allen wrench 1 remove left and right fender wheel supports Remove back tire (required (maybe) to remove center fastener) Flip bike Allen wrench 2 Disconnect rear brake (required to get at center fastener) Allen wrench 3 remove rear fender center support Remove rear fender  Flip bike Replace rear tire Reattach rear brake Test Adjust rear brake - put brake wire in the appropriate place after confirming with front brake Test Still 1/4'' off in tightness.  Close enough Repeat for front fender (did not need to remove brake) Flip Flip Flip - just for fun ​I don't bike to work anymore.  The fenders may never go back on.
