Don't do it half assed if you are in there.
You have to use a torque wrench and the right socket (E16).
For a layperson they sure feels tight if you just put a wrench on and pull a little.
You need to loosen one at the time, torque each of them back up to 60Nm (44 lbf-ft) and then pull one at the time an extra 90 degree (1/4 turn).
Don't loosen all at the same time.
What I do is to set my torque wrench to 50Nm when loosen the bolts. That way I get a feeling for if they are really loose or just loose.
If the wrench click at 50Nm I increase the setting to 60Nm and try again to loosen the bolt.
I ONLY do this to get a picture of how loose and which bolt is looser for my own studies.
