I don't think I will be able to work between the tubes and get the stud off and reinstall it but I'll give it a try. I didn't mention earlier but i have the stock manifolds. I still need to know how to reinstall the front bolt on the manifold in case I can't reinstall the stud without removing the manifold.

It has been awhile since I installed my header w/ the WAZOO gang and can't remember how diffiult the particular bolt was. Actually on later cars first and last bolt holes are substituted with stubs on the block eliminating bolts.
I presume you removed the plastic liner?
