    I'd heat them up to loosen up the lock-tight, then soak with some lubricant.

      @@themishapgarage3403 Warm is always best. I'd heat up with a torch or inductor, soak it with lubricant overnight, then heat up again just before you attempt to remove them. Good luck!

    I NEVER use those type of gasket, the ones with the composite material inbetween those flimsy metal layers. Only MLS gaskets. Not that it will solve your problem but I’m not a “mechanic” either. Heat and patience, God speed!

    I definitely wouldn’t use an impact. I’m not a mechanic, so take my advice with a grain of salt.
    Soak the bolts in some penetrating fluid when the engine is hot, keep doing this for a few days if you drive the truck, if not, one time should be fine. Use a small, handheld propane torch to apply localized heat. Use a hand ratchet, and pray you don’t break the bolts. But if you use penetrating fluid, wait a few hours and use heat, I would be surprised if you break them. Best of luck!

    Heat them up
    Or use extreme cold like freon shot.
