None of the bolts were frozen. I did buy a deep SAE socket set from Lowes to get a better grip on the bolts. The bolts are very difficult to see and get a good grip on. The last two bolts closest to the steering wheel on the starboard side were odd because they included the heat deflector and required a smaller socket. Thanks for the kudos on the video. I tried to shorten it up as much as I could.
