Paul,

I just removed mine month or two ago.  Spray the heck out of the two bolts
with your favorite rust dissolver/penetrant (I love Kano's Sili-Kroil) and
use a combination of short sockets and spanners.  It can be done, but it is
a bitch.  I felt great when I finally got the two bolts out. . . .  but now,
I'm worried about getting them back in and torqued.

Torqued??? They can't really be serious????  <grin>
