soak the exhaust manifold studs in WD40, i've had no problem doing x2 2.2's they release fine. Exhaust bolts could be an issue, again soak well in WD, if you do end up drilling them out, use decent quality ones cause cheap ones will snap off then it will take you 10 times as long drilling them out.

WD is not a penetrating oil, no doubt someone can confirm something that would work better. But from personal experience on doing two of these jobs, its better than nothing!

WD40 is not a patch on plusgas, but will help is soaked on regularly for a few days before removal...

Does Plusgas work quickly or do I need to leave it for a few days spraying daily.

I fitted a clamp-on flexible section to a previous 2.0, bought off ebay.
There wasnt much pipe length to play with but I cut the old section out with an angle grinder in-situ, leaving as much pipe as possible and then clamped on the new section with exhaust paste.
Always meant to weld it up next time the gearbox was off (dont ask) but it lasted for 3 or 4 years till I sold it on.
