Once again, Stan Wright's (aka Eurekaboy) website comes to the rescue...

Four 8mm bolts.
Bands remove with some twisting.
No need to remove the front band.
If you break them (accidentally or on purpose) they can be replaced with cable ties or hose clamps.

Ever think about soaking the poop out of the bolts with liquid wrench or similar product for a few days? How about some heat from the good old propane plumbing torch? Just don't heat it up too much... might mess with the hardness of the bolt, and screw things up inside. Just long enough to make things warm enough for a micro expansion of the bolt... makes it much easier to remove. That's what I had to do on one of the bolts holding my shocks in when I went to replace them.
