No. I forget exactly which tool I used, but if I had to guess, I think it was a 10mm 1/4" swivel socket on an extension. IIRC, I removed the plugs on the door, located by the latch assembly; this gave me access to the hidden nut. It was awkward, but not impossible. The nuts are all 10mm, in case you didn't know.
I believe I have the instructions lying around here somewhere, I could scan them for you if you need them. Good luck.
