oh and btw the flag is only tack welded on and pops right off to give you more gripping surface

that tab is meant to spin untill it hits a wall and then it will hold it in place as u remove the other side.

u dont need to hold it at all.

although you will need needle nose pliers to actuall pull the bolt out.
u have to angle it straight up and then pull the bottom lip out then it should wiggle out.
