Default 4.3 camshaft swap

Does anybody know how to get the 2 torx bolts out (clean) that hold in the cam. 2000 4.3.
Spare me the smart *** answers, okay? Thanks.

Yes. Remove entire 4.3, install a 6.0 and that should fix it

If there is room, a impact driver may help you.

Note, an impact driver is NOT an impact gun.

Heat should help along with the impact driver.

i'd also try quick squirts of penetrating oil (wd40, pb blaster, etc) & letting it soak for a little bit
