Just DO NOT force them off. If they are extremely tight on a cold engine/trans I would try it after it's ran for a little bit to warm up the metal. Some people from up north have run into issues removing the Transmission pan bolts. I personally haven't had an issue and I prefer to remove/install them with a 1/4 ratchet vs a 3/8.

Put a socket on an extension and then give the extension some light taps from a hammer to help shock the bolt before turning them

I zip them off with a 1/4 impact after driving it around and up onto the lift. I've never had an issue. We get a lot of salty trucks up here.

Yeah I think having it a bit warm really helps.
