That how I'd do it.

Tighten the red and blue nuts together, then put a wrench on the red and the yellow.

Try cutting a slot into the top of the carriage bolt - this will turn it into a "flathead screw" instead of a carriage bolt. Then you can use a large flathead screwdriver to hold it while you back the nut off.

I use this method to remove phillips head wood screws that have become stripped. (Wood screws strip so easily, that's why I love drywall screws)

Although the square neck of a carrage bolt may pose a problem in turning the bolt.

I wasn't telling him to turn the bolt, I was telling him to hold the bolt with a flathead screwdriver and turn the nut

Yep, you did ... -1 on my reading comprehension skills.  Mea Culpa.

Cheers.
