I'll wait to hear back from them before I decide whether or not to take it to a shop. Thanks for the help. I'll let you know if I need more
Don't be shy to use some force on those stock bolts. Use a cheap wrench and smack it around with a hammer if you have to. Ideally, a breaker bar could be used but you won't have enough room without a lift. And if you've already got a lift, you probably have an impact wrench available so you could use that instead.

Anyway, let me know what Invidia says - if you decide to try it on your own and I can fit it into my schedule, I'd be happy to swing by and help out.
