see below. i used a saw lade to cut the middle bit out while on the bike. it doesn;t do much as there is three screws holding it on. you also can't see this bit when its on the bike.
once these are trimmed you can get the covers off. then undo the capscrews with the pump pliers. undo the mid section bolt that holds it to the frame - this gives just enough movement to enable you to pop out the end pipe and drop the tail section off.
