Removing Coils

Does soomeone want to explain to me how to get the coils out. I have the original coils on a 1980 KZ100 ltd. I can't even get to the screw on the back of the coils. The front ones I can reach but still having problems getting them loose. Could they not use a bolt and make it so you could reach them?

Usaully they use a long phillips head screw with nut on bottem of each side of coil,then they have another nut under that where coil mounts through frame bracket.
You should just need to remove the 2 bottem nuts on each coil B)

I just assumed the nuts on the bottom were welded to the frame bracket.
