Its installed with 9, 3/8" speed nuts. Just need a 1/4" drive ratchet with a deep well 3/8" socket.

Thanks for the info, Dahos Turns out I didnt need to break out the tools. The guy said it was "nice", He forgot to mention the crease in the leading edge and the .38 bullit hole in the slope!! BUT--- he was nice enough to offer a $20. reduction in price for the bullitt hole!!
