The inner nuts will come nicely off the captive bolts in the plinth.

Yeah right Oh! they will be seize tight and if you try to undo them they will rip the T bit through the plastic of the Plinth..................... that is my experience anyway.

It's a nice straight forward job to do. Just be careful when undoing the nuts that hold the chrome plinth on. There easy to lose if they come off off the socket whilst undoing or offering them up to the thread. It's no big deal to get new ones apart from the inconvenience of popping down the car shop for new ones.
