I just remember break the bolt free with a small ratchet and loosened it enough until we could turn it with our fingers.
Yeah I figured, I did end up buying the gearwrench 10-12mm Etorx wrench just in case they are really tightly in there, my baby's got over 130k miles and a daily driver so I figured that would give me the best grip on it, better safe than sorry! I wish the tool did exist though, I really don't wanna end up snapping those bolts, its my only ride to work and the extra bolts I bought won't be here till Tuesday...

If anyone does know where to get one, I'm sure this thread would love to know still!
