Ornament cover removal?

Has anyone noticed that the ornament cover's allen-head bolts are hard as **** to remove? (I wager this is the first time mine have ever been touched...)
I just drenched them in PB Blaster and hope for the best... my hex-head set isn't that strong so I wasn't going to force it

Yeah, mine were in pretty tight. You do need to force it a little, but once they break loose (no pun intended) they spin out easily. I put anti-sieze on the thread before screwing them back in, so hopefully next time will be a breeze.

Same, I took mine off the first time around 60k and remember they were locked pretty good. If you have decent tools it helps... I don't know if I would have got them with a crappy (soft) set of allens.
