Four wheel drive allows you to get stuck

I just changed a rear seal and clutch. Good and tight is the way to go. I used the bible torque spec and turned the heads off the bolts. Thankfully when I removed the bell housing there was enough left on the bolt shaft to take it out with vice grips.
Sounds like you had weakened bolts or there was a SPOT of using grade 2 bolts at some point.
