Default Frt. Fender bolts

Im in the process of removing my front fender and am having trouble removing the 4 nuts. The whole threaded rod spins w/the nut. Any idea's on how to hold the threaded rod to remove the nut?

Thanks!

Hold the nut with a wrench.

Uh really.....an Allen wrench and a end wrench should solve the mysterious spinning bolt.

Damn....haven't seen that setup. That's an allen bolt on my bike. I'd pull the front wheel and cut those bastards off with a cut-off wheel, then new allen bolts and nylon locker nuts.

Good luck!!
