The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Rear U-joint retainers--'55

Is there some kind of special tool for unbolting the rear U-joint from the yoke on my '55 Ford? The heads appear to be 1/2" but I can't get a grip on them with a 1/2" box end or open end wrench, I'm about to the point of cutting the heads off and just replacing the retainers.
