The derailleur was torn apart so I ordered new seat stays and have to exchange (one of them).

I'm not sure how to do it, there are some bearings fastened by screws where hex-wrenches seem to fit on both sides but I am a bit afraid to use brute force and possibly break something.

This is what it looks like: https://goo.gl/photos/Cq8kWhYF8ES3ouBEA

Shall I just try to unscrew that pulling the hex wrenches into opposite directions or I need some special tools?

  • I would expect the manufacturer will supply instructions, which will include torque values for fasteners.

  • in fact I can unscrew the "inner" screws but the outer ones just turn around, so I cannot take out the seat stay out of the frame yet... The only thing I get from their instruction is that the torque value is 8Nm or something.

  • Carbon is very easy to damage. Maybe have a professional handle the repair if you're not sure how to do it.
