What is the easiest way to access these?

After doing a search I've read people talking about pulling the air box, removing lower nose plastics, or turning the skis and then pushing the rubber boot back.

The last option doesn't seem like it could work on the Nytro.
 

I just take the two bolts that hold up the ECU, and drop it down to clear a little working room. Then just use a combination wrench and a lot of patience, a little at a time. Sometimes it helps to turn the skies to put the jam nut into a clear spot.
 
They are not easy to reach , but if you remove the ecu ( 2 bolts ) and lay it down in the bottom you will just be able to reach the nuts with a long 14 mm and the tips of you fingers. I have done this many times just takes patience and a little longer to undo or tighten the nuts do to accessibility of wrench ( 1 flat of nut at a time )

Thank you!

I'll give this method a try.

Do I need to loctite the inner or outer jam nuts?
 
I have never used locktite on them an no issues. Remember they are both lefthand and righthand threads on the rods.
