Hi Joe. You literally need to wear gloves and try to pry these locking nuts off. Part # WP9870163.They are designed to only be used one time. It may be quicker to cut them or break them off. You will replace them and use the existing bolts with the new nuts. Lightly grease the power screw lightly on both sides for best operation. Thank you.
