It must be simpler than it looks? Am I going to need a spanner to undo the world's smallest nuts inside the rear wing?

Yes, you need a small spanner (can't remember the size) and a screwdriver that fits the heads on the outside perfectly or they will round off & give you even more trouble.

Been there , done that!!Drilling the heads off is a PITA!Replaced with LEDs which hopefully should last for ever.
