All you have to do is get enough of a wrench on it to break it loose. The nut should spin right off, easily. Put a blanket over the engine and lay across it like Superman and feel your way around. Try a different combination of tools, if needed. You can do it.

I used one of those Gear Wrench ratcheting wrenches to get mine off. I slipped the box end on the nut and gave 'er a tug. It is a bit tight getting to the one on the driver's side. FYI, I re-tightened the nuts twice after a couple of trips to give the gasket some time to seat.
