You can do it with a box end/ open end wrench, but man it is tough. A ratchet wrench helps on a few of the bolts. The 3rd bolt (one closest to the front) on each hinge is really tough. A 'S' shaped wrench might help there (don't know, don't have one), I used a long box end and came in from underneith on the top hinge. You can only turn them about 1 point on a 12 point wrench at a time. Plan to spend some time.
