[john walker's workshop]

first and foremost, you need a torch to get each nut red hot. oxy/acet is best. failing that, you will probably break some studs. then that's another batch of tools you'll need. 3/8" ratchet, 10" extension, 13mm swivel socket for the nuts. 6" long 8mm allen socket for the barrel nuts. the nuts usually come off easy with heat. the barrel nuts take more heat. red hot and wait until they "cool" to a dull red before trying to loosen them or they will round out. then you'll need more tools for that. if they don't let go the first time, reheat and try again. good luck.
