Take it to a garage and ask nicely if they could use an air tool to loosen them up, then tighten back up with hand so you can get to work on it at home.

didn get round to doing it i was just in a cant be arsed sort of mood got it jacked up and then saw the size of the hole i had to get my arm through to work in and decided it was a job for another day!

havn't sorted my running issues but think the culprit is a loose baffle in my cnetre box probably a cracked weld :(
