hey timmo i was at this fairly recently! pretty sure i used a std 10mm spanner for the top 2 and a small 1/4 drive ratchet with ext +10mm seems to just fit past pipes wires etc for the bottom one. would recommend using something magnetic when taking last one out as i almost always drop it! lol

Yup! 10mm hex bolts and a 1/4 drive deep socket will whip all three out in a jiffy.

Cheers
