    Can't recall the hex size you need, but a "hollow shaft nut driver" is what I used on my ex-308 (IIRC ;)).

    Ok but do you have direct access? Seems to me that the access is obstructed by a structure in front of them to wich the locking devices for the back bonnet are attached?
    Did I missed something?

    Can't comment on that aspect as I don't know how a 328 might differ from a 308, but they had to be able to assemble it -- hopefully, a 328er will respond.

    On the 308 I think there are access holes in the sheet metal to access a couple of the nuts. Maybe the 328 has the same?

    The trick to unscrewing the nuts is to find a hollow, deep 7mm socket. The STMM7 socket from Snap-On works well. It has a bolt clearance depth of 42mm - just enough to clear the 40mm length of the tail light stud.

    Yes the access holes are also on the 328. A set of 1/4 in drive deep sockets is a useful thing to have.
