You shouldn't be 'un-bolting' anything.

^^^^^^^^ snap-ring pliers. Squeeze the snap-ring together, rotate housing, release pliers.

ya it looks like the bolts are it, but its not, i belive iirc it was on teh compressor side, its a big *** ring, like on your shifter lever, youll need some man power, it will help here to have a friend, and have him have a screw driver to pry under the ring when you get it a little. also, practice on your old turo taking it aprt and back together to make sure you can do it.

i had snap ring pliers, and a huge monkey wrech so i could aplly morem fornce on the handles
