It's pretty simple buddy If the nuts come off ok. Spray plenty of WD40 the night before is a must.
You can get to 3 of the nuts from the top but the other two need to be done from underneath.

Probably the best way, but after removing the heat shield I managed to get to all 5 from above. Matts way is easier, but I was being stubborn. Sometimes they crack easy, sometimes a grinder is required

I used a long hollow bar over the top of a spanner to crack the top nuts and luckily the two underneath came free quite easily.
Bit of heat can help too but plenty of WD40 should do the trick.

Personally i find soaking in a proper penetrating oil works better than wd40
