Actually, I'll tell the story of how I got them out, since it was not
soooo bad:

I just used a box end wrench at various angles, and turning it 180 every
now and then (most box ends are angled, so one angle works better than
the other). A little at a time, since those dash support "struts" are in
the way. Took about 5 minutes to remove both of them.

I was just going to replace one, but decided to "do it right". (for once)
:-)
