You can try a little heat like with a butane torch and heat the head of the bolt, wait a minute for the heat to soften the loctite then give er all you got.

They can be a real bugger. Just keep trying and they will break free. The key is to stop any crankshaft rotation, then having enough torque on those bolts. I know what you are going through, bruised knuckles are the order of the day.

You might be able to use a shallow socket with a longer ratchet and spin the assy until the ratchet head hits the engine block, then the bolt will give. Once you figure out the trick, the others should be easy.

How about using a 3/8" air ratchet and a 6 point impact socket?
