The rear header nuts are a real pain to remove and refit, I had to use a flexible extension and narrow walled socket. It would be easier to remove everything behind it but that’s not always feasible, the nuts should be copper ( I’ve only just discovered that myself) so should come off with brute force, new ones aren’t expensive, can’t say about the studs though.
The tank expanding is a headache, take it off and dry it if possible, mine is similar, it still fits but is tricky, I bought a cheap replacement tank with damage as a temp tank while mine is dried out.
Remove the whole exhaust and polish it while the bike is being prepped, it makes a huge difference to the overall look. If possible look out for a cat bypass pipe, it makes more difference to the noise than aftermarket pipes and is totally road legal.
