Well i just used a few wrenches and pentreating oil .It took a bit of time because they were a bit rusty. It is a close area to work in but if you drop the spare tire it gives you a bit more head room.After you get them off the rest will be a snap to finish.

For a few days to a week before you plan on doing the repair, keep some penetrating oil handy and spray the nuts/bolts one or two times a day. This should make them much easier to get off. I prefer PBlaster.
