You don't need special bolts. I just took mine off last night. The nuts are 16mm.

Stainless is best, but whatever you want. I like ace hardware and other small hardware stores for nuts and bolts.

yep 16mm

I have a crescent wrench that on one side is stamped "metric". On the other side is stamped "SAE".

I have no idea why.
