   Wow! This is the single biggest pain in the ass i have ever dealt with (Not the thread! Your problem lol) When i changed mine i had to get a mate to clamp down the screw whilst i un-did the bolt. It was a huge pain in the ass! With any luck somebody has a trick,hint or tip for you though

    yer put some molegrips on the back, then spanned on front and twist, or a impact gun on the front makes life a 1000x easier!
