Yea... mine were kind of rusty and tight too. I just soaked the threads with some WD40 for a while before trying to loosen them. WD40 or Liquid Wrench is your friend.

RealOEM.com says the nut is a M8. So the stud threads are probably M8 x 1.50 thread pitch. It could be M8 by 1.25 as well, but I think its 1.50. I believe I used a 13mm socket for the M8 nut.

I coated the threads with some high temp copper anti seize... just to make life easier next time I go in there.
