Powergear jack removal

For those who have removed their powergear jacks, how hard was it to break loose the bolts? I have already removed the 2 u-bolts but am unable to break loose the 4 main bolts. There is some pink paint on each bolt so I am wondering if they used thread sealant (locktite?) on these. Any help is appreciated.

have a propane torch just a little heat will break that loctight loose.. Hit it with some penetrating oil as well after you heat it this will suck the penetrating oil up into the threads.
Also if you have a impact gun or a driver the impact motion will also help loosen things over a wrench.

Thanks to you both! Just to circle back, it does have Loctite or similar (yea, I mispelled originally). Although it was only a small spot it took some heat from a torch. Thanks again. Safe travels!
