5.4 headers

I have a new set of shorties I want to put on my 5.4. However the studs have trouble written all over them. Any advise would be helpful.

start hitting it with penetrating lube a few days in advance and i usually take the bolts out when the engine is hot cause they will come out easier.

They look welded. The manifolds look more rusted than normal as well. And I have a leak on the pass side. looks like the Manifold warped untill it snapped the stud.
