Carriage bolts because those were the only ones that fitted, and of course nobody ever put a nice coat of grease on the threads ever. Time to break out the sparkly wrench and get those studs nice nad red hot first, then allow to cool a little before giving them a bath in automatic transmission fluid, then take another nut and weld to the stud, and try to undo them. That has a good chance of getting half of them out, the rest will fight you all the way. New bolts, nicely greased, and a nice grease coat on the lip and the side of the panel, will mean the next guy will get it open. BTW, that 1/4 NPT nipple is there to allow you to see if the level under the portal is low enough to open, without flooding the turbine room.

You're so sinister... BTW - the plug-hole I believe is a pre-open test hole, to look for water pressure before you open the top. The bolts-with-jamb nuts - release the jamb, and the bolt should come out. The type of bolt gives you leverage under the head with a wrench, after the jamb nut is released. I see this is an old video, but youtube thinks it needs to surface cuz you're reaching "cool" status, and people need to see your stuff. Thanks for sharing...reply so I know you saw the comment...
