Don't know about the gaskets but I removed all the bolts on my own with no air tools. I PB blasted for a week. A few hours prior I warmed up the car and PB blasted. Here's the big one. QUALITY IMPACT SOCKET. They are made to fit tighter and have much less flex. Also ensure the socket is flush and fully on the bolt. Don't even think about putting any force on that bolt if you don't think the socket is perfectly flat. Wouldn't hurt to have a friend hold it against the bolt to make sure. AND big breaker bar. I use a 4 ft galvanized steel pipe. Good Luck.
