Default Cat to H Pipe Connection

Hey All,
I have a few questions regarding the connection between the Cat and the H pipe on my 05 Base A/T:
Can the studs on the Cat be straightened? There appears to be very little room to work especially the upper stud. If so, how?
What are the specs on the studs (size, pitch & length)?
What is the torque spec on the nuts that hold the flange to the Cat?
Thank you
