No, they are not, although they can be very tight.

They are best removed with an impact wrench.

These are special, locking torx bolts (#55) and I would not use an impact gun on them as they will strip out the head very easily and the gun isn't very helpful anyway. I usually have to break these loose with a long breaker bar.
