Ned -
You have to get at these nuts by feel. I think a couple of them you can
fit a "Gearwrench" on them and they will come off very fast this way... ones
that you can't fit a gearwrench on just use a shorty open ended spanner.
Once it's loose, it should just unscrew off by hand. Don't get a mental
block on this.. just do it. I can take the carbs off my BJ8 in 15
minutes... mostly because of how I deal with the task mentally!!!!
Cheers,
Alan
