    I took these off last week, i used a rattle gun so i had no problems normal RH thread lefty loosey, they are saftey nuts and are eccentric and are tight all the way to the end however. What are you using to undo them?

    did mine a couple of weeks ago. i used a ratchet with all different types of extensions and universal pieces for each nut as there all in awkward places. try and get deep sockets as they will fit right over the stud. just find the best setup with your extensions and such. it takes time but it'll do lol.
