layed back plate

I have a 09 883 sporty i want to change out the license plate and put in a layed back one. How do you get off the 3 torx bolts and nuts off. There 3 nuts under the fender. The stealer wants $35.00 to do it. Help

U turn from the top with a pair of pliers and hold back from inside the fender.

Not sure if you have already purchased the laydown mount but if you havent, check out the Kuryakyn Curved Laydown Plate. Heres a pic of mine. The subtle curve gives the plate a nice look and matches the rear fender well.
