Re-clock the heat riser
My heat riser is not oriented correctly. I removed two of the nuts and one came out with the stud. The exhaust header pipe doesn't want to drop enough to clear the studs. What is the easiest way?

Thank you both! I loosened the clamp and gained a little wiggle room and pried down on the pipe. The heat riser is now soaking in Evaporust overnight. It was a little frozen up from being installed wrong by prior owner. I am a true believer in this stuff. Thank you again guys.
