removal of front exhaust manifold

Hi all
Got a slight problem in removing the manifold from the front cylinder

1) The allen bolts holding the oil cooler in place are not keen on releasing, which is making it hard to get sockets in onto the nuts. So anyone any ideas how to get the heat sheild which protects the battery out the way and also and ideas for removing the bolts holding the intercooler, I dont wont to cut them if I can help it.

2) When working with the other bolts, the studs are coming out with them, so I will just buy some new studs/bolts and loctite the new studs in. Any better ideas please let me know.

The rest is all off, a bit of a doddle really.

cheers

Derek
