Any help/advice would be appreciated, thanks.
Did you get this done? I used two adjustable wrenches when I couldn't loosen it by hand. If you have a bench vise, that might be a simple solution. Not sure what spacers you are referring to - mine had a bolt head, washer, and nut, just like shown in your picture.
