I know how its done, but I'm having the worrrst time getting past step one.

Loosening the bolts. Holy s*** are these on tight. I tried everything, and even using the right sized wrench im starting to round them a little bit. I tried torching them for a second but was told not to because it can damage the seals, so I stopped before any damage was done. Must have loctite on it or something, I dont know.

Anyone have any advice for getting these bolts off?

s*** is wack

Use a 6-point wrench.

spray pb blaster on the bolts let soak/ sit nfor a while, drink a beer, come back with a 6 point wrench, if you proceed to strip the bolt head, get a pair of vicegrips and repeat the first two steps

6 Point and a hammer to whack the wrench with, 60% of the time it works 100%
