a smallblow torch is the easiest way their like $25, just heat the up a little and put a bar on your ratchet and give it a quick yank and it should come loose. And unless theirs a problem im missing all you do is rotate the DS to get to the other bolts. As for the torqu ratings im not too sure, i have a chiltons manual that i use for all my torque specs but dont have it here
edit: make sure you mark the position before you take the DS off

Your pinion seal may not be too happy about having a torch going there.
Rotate the bolt to the bottom. Jam the trans in 1st or reverse. Then take a box end 12 mm wrench and hammer the end of it. The impact action will get that bolt moving.

Only use a HEX wrench
Use breaker bar if you don't
have an impact.
