Heat riser stuck

Gonna be a little tough to get too on the car. I would just go ahead and pull it. Looking at everything like it's a can of worms is part of the problem. Remember, the guys that put these things together did so probably still hungover or drunk from the night before. They're not difficult to work on. Afraid you're gonna break a bolt or stud? Well fix the thing if you do. None of this is rocket science. If all you do about it is type and never pick up a wrench, How's it ever gonna get fixed?
I have picked up wrenches for nearly 30 years as a profession thus far. ( possibly longer than you have lived ) I have learned over the years to ask questions / become familiar with things if at all possible before turning that wrench.

On-line forums such as this are a big help to alot of people including myself because it sometimes gives us the opportunity to learn from other people mistakes and we do this by asking questions.

Suggesting that all I may do is is type questions instead of work on my vehicles is really un-called for but Ok thats fine.
