There's about 6 arch bolts. Will need to undo them all.

Noo don't do that, you will do a better job if you remove them. Its simple, jack up, wheel off (could probably do it with the wheel on) to give you good access, unbolt them and pull them off and thats it.

If the bolts break then just buy a tube of tiger seal and bond them on
