I think those are 7/16. You should be able to use a nut driver.

I would take a 3/8 and 1/2 just incase someone changed the nuts before. You never know.

I am very familiar with Oregon weather and I will trade you for Michigan weather any day.

Good luck

Self cutting thread little metal thingies. I think they were 7/16 too. But i agree, take a 1/2 and a 3/8's and a pair of pliers just to be sure.

There are 2- 3/8" nuts on the back. May want a short extension just to make life easier...
