EEEK...!
I had the same dilemma as REDMANDAN....to get exhaust studs out without breaking them off in the head...
two of mine broke off. :\ Cursed and focced for a while and then just made decision to remove engine. Not as difficult as i thought...u need a trolley jack, and a person to help, holding the end of the long engine mounting bolts while u unscrew them, anyone can do this, even a woman. Obviously this is easier if u have a shed to work in and a lift or a raised platform. I did it outside on the ground. Drilled out the old studs (carefully) and fitted nice S/S downpipes with nice new S/S studs.
A good opportunity to clean everything properly. paint some bits etc. etc.
