ALWAYS use lots of anti-sieze compound on those studs and nuts! Then you won't have a seizure the next time you have to remove the manifolds! I have had the same nuts and studs for 10 years, and I can still remove my manifolds (relatively) easily. But if the studs or nuts are at all rusty, definitely replace them.
