Can anyone give advice: what's the best way to remove the front pipe from the exhaust manifold, assuming the nuts are completely rusted on to the bolts? Thanks.

spray some WD40 on it and let it soak in for an hour or two. then try to get it off.

I know youve already got it off, but for future reference always use a six sided socket for anything tight or corroded. Nothing worse than rounding a nut.
