Is there a trick to not breaking them.  Tried two and broke both,  before I continue.  I obviously can't heat the ring gear.  Maybe just heat the bolt   Are they locktighted in ?

If you are working on a 8 3/4 the ring gear bolts are left hand thread.

Don't forget when the new ones go in you will use red lock tight
