Sliding the U-joint cover back is very easy, once I discovered the right way to do it on my 513. I keep a "shear bolt replacement kit" in the well behind the seat and fuel tank/rear wall. It has a sack of bolts, two right-sized socket wrenches, a hammer if I need to punch out the bolt remnant, and a flathead screwdriver, to pop the tabs on the shield and to insert in to the driveline to pop out the remnant, or variably, to hold the holes in line while I fish out the new bolt. I created this kit after I realized I never blow bolts in the garage, but always as far from the garage and tools as possible.
And for safety's sake, it is always best to have that shield in place during operation.
