Have done several of these and snapped studs off in a couple of exhaust manifolds, the only way I will approach a rusted one now is to take a die grinder (maybe a Dremel would work) to the nuts to ease their grip.

I grind off one face until I nearly reach the threads. Alwasy seems to some off easy that way. Nuts are cheap, I used the double size brass ones for reinstallation.
