Re: Trouble removing the exhaust
if there is no access then its a case of junior hacksaw/dremel time. i personally would use a junior. cut between the rubber and the exhaust bracket. it'll only take 5min. dont cut the head off the bolt as it will leave you with a long stud. or as seeker said jam a blade screwdriver in there.
with the gaskets collars being that old i would use a very light smear of assembly paste putting it back together.
as you have said.. dont use an easy out on the broken bolt. if you can get a nut welded on there then thats the best action to take. there are mobile companies that specialise in stud extraction but it costs a fair old whack but might be better than messing about.
