I would highly recommend using easy out or "twist" sockets for getting
these round bolts off.  Placing the correct hex/triple square in the head
and giving it a few good solid hammer raps looses them up a bit.  Using a
twist socket guarantees a nice solid anchor point for putting them back
when you're done.  When I pulled the driveshaft on V8Q #2, the bolts were
unbelievably tight and wanted to stay in place another 20+ years it
seemed.  Air gun with twist socket saved the day, like buttah.
