I had the same problem and this was a very easy fix!

One correction - there are two nuts to remove (one near top rear, and one at bottom rear of liner) and one rivet at bottom rear.

Another post suggested a tool made out of a kitchen fork for removing the rivet - I found this worked very good and the rivet was reusable. Pull the plunger out all the way with the fork and then the other piece.

When you pull the liner down, the hose flops out and leaks fluid.

Leaving the tire on does give you enough room - but the hose connection is still hard to see - I found you had to do this by touch. If I had to do this again I might take the tire off to get my head, hands and shop lite in there. I used a cable tie on the hose to make sure I don't have to do this job again.

The hardest part was trying to get the rivet to go back through the bracket.

If you can change your tire - then this repair is for you.
