Im a farmer, I have plenty of junk stuff laying around, no need to go buy a pipe!
Already used a short piece on the top bolt, as I had an allen wrench that was "almost" the right size(probably american) and I pried just a bit with some leverage and it turned easily. The bottom one, I knew I needed the correct metric size, and my son should be bringing me one home tonight, so I can complete the task in the morning.
thanks,
Jim
