3rd Gen Exhaust Manifold Removal

What is the best way to get the Trans dip stick and Coolant hose bracket off of the bottom bolt on the rear of the stock manifold.

Also, the factory put these stainless dog bones on the rear two bolts over the heads on the top two and the bottom two to prevent them from coming loose and falling out. I got the top dog bone off, and bolts out, but now need to remove this bracket off of the 2nd to rearmost bolt and am having no luck.

What to do?

Don
