Good DIY with pictures, but I do agree that it is a bit overkill. Just turn the wheel to the side, 5 clips and one screw. Bend back. Its best to do this after a decent drive so everything is hot under there. Makes the bending of the fender protector easier.
You should ask the mods to sticky this in the DIY section since its the most comprehensive pics I've seen about it.
