If you loosened the bolts on both sides of the engine, it may have dropped slightly binding the bolts.
If you just do one side at a time, snugging the bolts for the new guard on one side, the engine should not drop enough to bind the bolts on the other side. Then even if you need to tap a bolt (use a rubber mallet if possible) to remove it from the other side, you should still be able to get it back in without damaging the threads.
