1986 camry front exhaust

[steamplant]

Guys,

I have a 86 camry with an exhaust leak at the front pipe flex area. I got a new pipe cheap on ebay, I'd like to change it myself however I don't have acess to a torch.

I was gonna use PB blaster, but if the bolts break where the pipe meet the exhaust manifold, my question is are these bolts that can be driven out or are they threaded studs in which case I am screwed.

Short on cash right now, maybe I should just patch with a soda can or something, any suggestions would be great thanks

the front section is attached to the exhaust manifold flange by threaded studs with threads on both ends.
When I was changing the exhaust gasket with exhaust manifold removal on 87 Camry, it took me 1 week of daily 'liquid wrench' application to the studs before I attempted to remove nuts.I applied the fluid to the warm[5 minutes of driving] studs, then let it stay for 20 minutes and then drove the car for a day; this assured full penetration of the fluid.
If the piece of stud is exposed, channellock pliers should take it out.
