If you dont have the torque bit you need, you could try and use some vice grips. But most likely you will have to run down to the parts store for the bit.

You need to get the right T bit, those bolts are usually in there pretty good, so use the time wisely and put some blaster/wd40 on them now.

Did you put some PB Blaster overnight on them ? I told you they are usually in there pretty good.
