Lower bolster diassembly for 'M'

I see 4 bolts holding it up. Will those nuts spin out without backup at opposite end? Or is that just too simple? I'm hoping I don't have to remove the front cowl and radiator to do this. I have the front wheels looking good, and want to power brush and paint the lower bolster to match the fresh paint on the wheels. What say ye?

You will most likely need a combination wrench to hold the bolt head as you loosen the nut that you see. One bolt head is longer (to prevent too much wheel rotation).
 
No need to take radiator off as that wont gain you access to the heads of those 4 bolts. Scrape away all the extra grease and you can see the heads up in the bolster from the bottom side. turn the front wheels 45 degrees one way and you can get at opposite two bolts with an open end wrench then turn 45 degress the other way for the last two. Never had one those bolts that didnt spin without a wrench on the head.
 
You can get the four bolts out without takeing anything apart up above, but why don't you just jack the front of the tractor up and take the front wheels off and clean up and paint.

thought of doing that, but to me it would be easier to do it all on a pair of horses or on a table. Thanks for the feedback guys.
