    Take inner fender out and do what he said, it will work an not that hard. If u don't have means to what u need talk to friends, no need to remove head, just more work, that is not needed. Hope everything goes well for u!

    It isn't gonna come out too easy because those bolts have yellow locktite on from the factory so i doubt penetrating oil will do much but welding the nut on might be a good shot because it gives you something to turn it out with and may heat up the locktite enough to break it free.
