i did this about 2 weeks ago. snip the wire on the two top bolts take out using an allen key i think its 3/8ths. remove the two bottom nuts. hit vigrously with a rubber mallet to free it off
and off it comes should take no longer than 20 mins

top and bottom ones are rusted to f**k and very flakey. the allen key bolts are rounded out due to them being so rusty!

make sure its really clean first,worst case is you have to buy a couple of crap ring spanners,but if its your only way out,its a cheap fix.
