The perfect tool to remove them (without rounding them off) is a 1/2" crows foot on a universal joint connected to about an 8" extension and a 3/8" ratchet (this is to disconnect at the tranny, which I would recommend so you don't have to mess with the little bracket that holds them to the motor, plus you'll have freer movement of the trans and less potential damage to the lines)..
