Happy to report to all...the bolt came out.
Method:
Sprayed rust penetrant all over the area...left overnight.
Came back the next day sprayed rust penetrant all over...left overnight.
Belted the crap out of the bolt head with a hammer (well a few persuasive taps anyway)
Got a 13mm socket from the Kincrome set and belted it onto the head of the 14mm bolt.
Much grunting and elbow snapping and presto! Manifolds now separated.
Belting on 13mm (w/bolt cutters)
Couldn't find the hammer
Then removed bolt with some vice grips
Bolt removal
The finished product
Appreciate everybody's input!
