IIRC, they're 3/4". I'd bring a set of 5/8 and 1/2" just for kicks too. Probably oughta bring a hefty pair of vise grips, channel locks, some PB Blaster, large crescent wrench and a hammer n chisel or hacksaw. No heads on those bolts and if the nuts seize on you, you'll need to be able to cut 'em off. Good luck and let us know how it turns out for you.

Maybe a bit late, but I always bring some emery cloth and small wire brushes. Helps to remove as much rust and scale from the bolt threads as possible, helps the penetrant get where it should and make backing the nut off much easier. Then again, a sawzall cures most anything!

Took a crap ton of tools and only used a hammer, sawzall, 3/4 wrench 1/2" ratchet and a few sockets, breaker bar, a chisel, and a 1/4" ratchet and a few sockets. All in all it was a supringly easy job for being a 34 year old vehicle.
