Hmm, duffman may have something there. As far as the torque on them goes, they should be pretty easy to break as long as you get the right angle on them. I've taken two seperate trannies off in the last month and they were both easy as hell, though that was with the engine out of the car. The easiest way to break a bolt free, from my experience, is with a quick sharp tug on the wrench, rather than pulling hard but slowly on it. Bouncing the wrench will help sometimes as well. Oh, and PB-Blaster is your friend!
