Sawzall will get those suckers off

yup, they've got them locktite'd on there really good. Just take your time and you'll be able to get them off.

Dont let these guys scare you, Rear tail comes off fairly easy. Take out the push pins from under the rear, Remove your rear seat or cowl, Remove the 6 bolts under there, I beleive 2 are phillips head and the other 4 socket. Remove the 2 push pins holding the center brace, you should be able to get it off without to much problem, a little twist here and there.

Now as for the Rear sets, Ohhhhh Yeah there gonna be tight.

hah thank you so much.. and you were right, the rear sets, oh my gosh I almost broke my back getting them loose... and that initial "snap" that goes through your spine when each screw finally breaks loose...hah by the last screw I was timid... but you know... its all off now!!

Congrats.

I remember when I pulled mine, When that first bolt finally broke loose I was praying it wasnt the bolt head snapping off, and I think I had that same feeling on all of them.
