Can he just not get them off after taking the bolt out or can he not get the bolts out at all?

Yes the bolts are out but he cant get the caps off.dont know whats going on ,but im to far away to help him.
Thanks

I would think that a whack with a dead blow hammer or a piece of wood should do it. But put the bolts back in loosely so the cap doesn't go flying! And DO NOT FORGET TO MARK THEM TO PUT BACK IN THE SAME PLACE!

Thnk you Scott i will pass the info along

And in the same direction.
