so the three(maybe four) bolt thats hold the front half of the exhaust pipe to the manifold are tight as hell, and i cant get them loose...
how can i loosen them up to take it off?
oh and one is stripped due to rust, or someone else trying to get them off, but now i have that to deal with..

how do i go about taking these bolts off?

and also do i even need to take the front peice of the exhaust off to drop the transmission?
