PorscheDoc's photo gallery 		Did you loosen the nut?  They can be pretty tight even with the nut loose.

Status: offline 		yes loosened nuts on both -one unscrewed easily by hand the other I can barely back out with vice grips - maybe take off whole assembly to see what is going on in there?  got to get right size star tool I guess..
