Installing those darn TYC tail lights...
Alright I finally got my tyc's in the mail last night, but i could not get the freakin stock ones off my box!
I know i need to reach behind with a wrench or socket wrench and unscrew the two nuts back there, but MAN it's a hard reach...anybody have any luck with this? Also, i think i tried every size EXCEPT for the right one, lol..what size wrench or socket should i use, any suggestiosn on technique that i should be aware of that helped any of you? thanks
I uploaded some install photos a while back:

It is indeed a 10mm nut. It shouldn't be on there too tightly but if someone in Takaoka got too enthusiastic with it, try a socket wrench with universal joint and 3" extension. Loosen it, then carefully remove the nut by hand or with a magnetic nut driver. Believe me, you don't want to drop it ...

I used a Craftsman 10 mm long socket, and universal joint. Total time was prolly 15 minutes from the time I took the tools out of the box to checking to make sure the installed lights worked.
