One tactic I use is to reach in with a long set of big needle nose visegrips. Pre-soak the nuts with PB blaster (works way better than Liquid Wrench). Come back the next day for the assault. Usually if you can get a few of them off you can bend the shrouds around enough to get at the rest of them. On my Aero I just removed the center and both side shrouds together, then separated the center from the sides when it was on the floor.
If they're not totally destroyed, you may be able to re-thread some of the nuts with a tap, then squeeze the little wings to lock them back into the plastic. I used speed nuts from AutoZone to replace the ones that were too far gone. The key is the anti-seize- did this on my '92 about 10 salty winters ago and the shrouds still come right off.
Have fun :-) took me a few hours to do this on the Aero last month.
