Got a bucket of bolts in the shed?  Get one with a 1/2 inch head.  Put the head 
down into the tipping retaining nut, and grasp the threads of that bolt 
sticking 
up with a pair of vice grips, twist it on out of there.  Works like a champ.  
Reverse procedure to re-install, double jam a set of nuts on it if you really 
feel 
like using a torque wrench on reinstallation.
