Soak the bolts with some PB blaster or similar overnight before beginning if at all possible. The bolts in mine all came out pretty easily. That is except for the 2 rear ones that were already broken off. One had the head broken off with threads sticking out, used vise grips to get it out, turned easily. The other was broken off flush, so I left it because I am changing heads soon.
It really shouldn't take much to turn the bolts, if it seems like you are having to put a lot of torque on them you might want to heat them a bit.
if you take your fender wells and tires off it makes things a lot easier also
