The TT will be returning to track duty. How hard is it to remove the brake splash shields?

Looked like I needed to remove the brake caliper carriers, remove the rotors, and then find and remove some more bolts hidden behind the rotors?

Or are there tin snips involved?

Thanks.

Just three small bolts up front, as I recall...
