Default Removing Rear Silencer

Are there special tools i need to remove my rear silencer?

I just had a go at removing it but the 2 bolts and nuts connecting it to the center section are impossible to get off.

Thanks

Might need a little bit of heat on the nuts to convince them.

Nut crackers are an easier option to remove stuborn/seized nuts/bolts.
