Those damn bolts are tight as hell...getting off is not easy at all and getting back on not much easier.. Best I can say is PB Blaster and maybe a heating torch and a 12 pt socket...Those suckers are deep inside that tranny bell housing..

Really I had no problems with mine. I pulled one off at a JY then brought it home and pulled mine off. And my truck has been the KING of broken rusted bolts. Don't know what to say. Try tightening it a Hair just to see if you can brake it free a lil may make it easier to take out.
