If you put the bike on the centre stand with the back wheel over hanging a kerb or similar to remove the wheel no humping and heaving of the rear wheel is necessary to get it back on the bike.
There no folding rear mudguard on my Electra X (ish).

I might add here (smugly) that removing the rear wheel is so much easier with a hydraulic bench, it just drops out through the cutaway;-)
BTW, when replacing the wheel, it's worth putting the spindle back in (without the spacer) so it's easier to line up with the brake drum. Then remove spindle again (wheel will stay put) and replace spacer. This all supposes that the C5 is similar to the old iron barrel models.

You will now find two spacers on the left side of the wheel.
A short tophat spacer that butts against the wheel bearing and that the grease seal seals on,followed by the bigger heaviest spacer in the land.

Every rider should carry a hydraulic bench in the toolkit in case he/she needs to remove the front wheel, simples innit!

Forgot to say this is on my 2016 C5.👍

Punctures will soon be a thing of the past for ALL vehicles! Dunlop have recently patented a radical new range of concrete tires, and had been awarded the contract to resurface all the highways with a decent-grip tread rubber compound.

HTF do I do a LOL symbol?

As jefrs says; but it`s easier if there is only a solo seat. This is how a Bullet mudguard lifts.
