Well, After 4 days I received the part. There are 3 plastic rivets. Get a normal round toothpick and poke the centers into the fin. Then with a small Flathead screwdriver pry the plastic plugs out. It is very easy, careful not to scratch it with the screwdriver. Then the painted cap can be removed, pry from the back and peel and pull it forward, towards the seats. Then use a Allen wrench to remove the bolts in the hole. X2. The fin will now come off.
Now look at the ends, there are plastic end caps. Remove one of them, again with the screwdriver, and pout out the three plastic pins and the two screws that are inside the fin. Replace the pins in the plastic rivets, replace the end cap, and store your fin somewhere. As for putting the new one on, it is a one step process. Just screw in thing one with the supplied screws. I used 2 plastic washers because I was afraid that the metal screws might crack the fiberglass. It is holding up so far. I went about 110 for 5 ish miles and it was still on there when I stopped.
Good luck,
James
PS Down here in Texas it is easy to find a country back road with no people or curves to do 110 for 5 miles.
