Hello Richard , This happend to me in Canada when I was up there visiting you and David. You probably remember (LOL) ! OK , Asad it's really not that bad. If your stud comes out then you need a bench vise and 2 nuts to jam together on the other end of the stud. Tighten these jammed nuts into the vice jaws and then remove the header flange nut with a box end wrench. You may also need a vise-grip pliers to help hold the stud on the non-threaded section. It depends on how jammed they are. Whats happening is that you are running the flange nut so tight right up onto the non-threaded part of the stud and in effect jamming it. I wouldn't attempt this without a bench vise. Buy several Norton exhaust sealing rings and have them on hand so you can bring the pipe out enough so you aren't jamming the flange nuts . 19NM is only about 14 ft.LBs
