How to Get Self-Tightening Bolts Loose

[Dylan]

I have just completed building my first quad and I have used self-tightening bolts on the motor. However, now I need to change the first prop, but I cannot get the bolt loose. Does anyone have any tips to get the bolt loose (and I have double checked which way to loosen the bolt).

the best way from my experience is to stick a small screw driver between the 2 holes and then use that as leverage from both sides and turn the cap loose (the ones that spin counter clockwise (front right and back left looking from top) are usually lefty loosy, and the other 2 are usually righty loosy)
