Christmas is too close. I have to replace part of my exhaust and I have some badly corroded exhaust studs to deal with.

Any suggestions for getting these things apart? I have had minimal success with using penetrating oil in the past (mostly because when the nuts are this badly rusted the oil won't penetrate).

I have one of those oxygen/MAP gas torches (the ones with the propane torch size canisters) that I can use for heat. Will they heat the manifold up enough to remove the stud if I break the nuts off?

Thanks for any help.
