Your talking about the bumper beam bolts? The large allans that go straight upwards right?
Yeah those always feel pretty tough when removing those, just keep turning them counter clockwise (left) until they come all the way out.

no lie down and look at the head of the bolt. they are regular lefty loosey ones but when you stand and look at the top of the engine they are the other way. and ya they are on there pretty good but use them muscles lol. get a breaker bar and put a pipe on it to extend it

ya it would seem that way. those things do not unscrew, maybe a previous installer tightened them too much or something, because they are not comming off.
