I had to use an electric impact wrench to remove the bolts. The bolts should have been installed with thread locker/sealant, which explains why they are hard to remove.

Likely have been torqued to 75-90 lb/ft so you will need a breaker bar and someone to hold the motor from turning(like one of those flywheel tools they sell). Could even have locktite put on from the factory?(or sealer).
