Dan,
Thanks for your suggestions. I tried the tapping with a punch, then moved on to the hand impact wrench and used as much force as I thought was prudent, no success. The nuts are molded into the cam cover and are not exposed so you really can't apply penetrating oil to the nut. I think I will try slightly separating the cover from the backing plate and injecting so penetrating oil and hope that it finds its way, and then repeat the tapping process. Also found that I have the same problem with the screws that mount the oil cooler.
Thanks for your suggetions, thats what makes this site so great!
By the way anyone with a newer 900SS (fuel Injected). If you are experencing some vibration or slightly high idle. check the intake manifold for the screw in the air port for the evap canister. When I went to remove the canister I found the the "technican" at the factory who installed the screw only threaded the adaptor into the rubber intake manifold part way and the hose and the adaptor were lose resulting in a vacuum leak. It was subtle and hard to notice
