manifold studs

anybody got any good ideas as to gettin the manifold nuts off the studs with out breakin the studs? i heard slicing a couple sides of the nut with a cuttoff wheel so the nut would break when you hit it with an impact gun. any other ideas?

Soak it for days in Liquid Wrench, WD-40, or something similar.

Try the candle wax trick from the garage forum. It worked on the old parking brake cable adjustments on a 57 that were set up like stone. You couldn't even see the threads.
