had already planned the bolt + nylock reseal as per MJ if it comes to it later
no lift available but still have my motorhome ramps so will try running the front up on that then blocking the side
You may well be right there about poor connections.
I hope that the ramp option gives you enough room. If there is any degree of extra force needed for stuck bolts/exhaust movement then you may need a lift. MJ is just across the channel and has a queue of '8s waiting!
