Power Plant Frame Removal

I am trying to remove my PPF and i was wondering how everyone removed the two downfacing bolts on the rear of the ppf. They don't seem to have any heads to them just round.

they should be 21mm nuts. You'll need a deep socket to get to them. Then there is one on the side of the diff housing.

The engine had been removed but the PPF appeared to be completely attached. I guess for some reason they had started to remove it but never finished. It's not on the actual car i'm driving.
