A few exhaust nuts awere tough to get a socket on but got a extra thin walled socket n finally got the last one off. Ball joints on exhaust seem pretty frozen despite my occasional dose of mouse oil over the years. At least they are frozen in the right orientation.

Now might be a good time to free up the ball joints. I put nickel based high temp anti seize on mine. Not running yet, but it won't evaporate like mouse milk. They are hard to hold, I put two 2" bolts through the flange holes and sat it on the vice and clamped the bolts. It made a good platform for exercising the joint.
Good luck on the sump and extraction.
