On the only one that I did with a splitter, I borrowed an air driven device with a set of jaws like bolt cutters. It had several sizes of jaws. The smallest set fit.

I always encourage everyone to loosen and anti-seize those nuts now with the bag under pressure. Soak them in Kroil, unscrew the air line, screw in a schrader valve, air it up, and use a deep well socket to loosen.

It is much easier to do now at home rather than on the side of the road later.
