Nut removal above collector box 5th gen. Stud removal.

Exhaust gasket started blowing at the head, used the tinniest of spanners to see if there was any give to pinch it up and the stud snapped, great! There isn't enough thread for two nuts, what is the thought on mole grips or buy a stud remover? Got the other three out with lots of tapping, heat, tapping, penetrating oil, tapping and a bit more tapping, all came out at the stud.

 

Got everything loose now except the nut that holds bracket from the top of the collector box (red arrow), access is problematic, might be better if I take the side stand off but centre stand is main barrier. Anyone had a go at this with any tips? Tapping, oil and heat not working as yet. Applying heat bit of a smell I didn't like, is there something under there I should be worried about?
