Exactly at that point, yes - the stud is still there, holes dotted around it.

Definitely remove that air intake pipe. I would loosen the front bolt before starting on the rear one. For the rear one, I used an allen bit and a stumpy ratchet spanner. One hand to get the bit into position and hold the spanner in the right place, and the other hand to move the spanner. A real pain in the back and knuckles, but it can be done.
About to leave on being a tour guide for the day, so will be tonight before I can check on progress.

Thank you, not sure how much I'll get done today anyway - the tool for the rear clip arrives today (and a new air filter) but paid work has to take priority, might manage an hour or so after work. EDIT: the tool arrived while I was typing
Going to look for some safety gloves first to protect my knuckles
