    I used a 12-point wrench but mine broke free easily so maybe yours are seized. also you can start with the 22mm bolts and eventually the arm will loosen and the "plate" which is the 19mm will spin free or you can use a screwdriver to wiggle loose.

    but that was years of spraying used oil all over underneath the truck every year. I didn't have one seized bolt so that made me happy.

    Thanks. If I had one sitting around I probably would have tried it.
