(I can't remember the size as it was a while ago)It sounds like an easy job but can turn sour quickly if those stubborn nuts become rounded.Mine were very hard to undo and I'm sure it's a common thing.I ended up giving up first time round and then borrowing the flare spanner to make sure no damage was done.
