When I replaced my heater fan last summer I used a pair of ignition pliers
to remove these bolts. The ignition pliers are a 4" "slip joint" type of
pliers that are thin and small and are thus able to reach in tight places
where most other pliers can't. I bought a pair of these pliers at Sears many
years ago and they have become one of my favorite multi-purpose tools. They
can reach into tight areas and grip low profile sufaces like the thin lip
around the base of the cone shaped column bolts. It's an awesome tool for
those hard to get at places.
