What he said. I happened to already have the big socket that fit (and 1" drive ratchet) but there is no reason a pipe wrench (borrow one from a neighbor) wouldn't work. You want them very tight.
For what it's worth, I found it easier to apply LARGE torque to them by chucking the cross shaft into my bench vice. It was nice to do this work at chest height rather than attached to the truck down on the floor.
