I did mine on a 18" sander (or maybe smaller). But, check with the shop. They might do it cheap, you never know.
Ok... some hope! I've heard that undoing the upper bolt only on dip stick tube and removing the actual dip stick, gives enuff flexibilty to move tube. In my head... if a stub is left after getting the mani out, I can grip and undo the bolt! Is that a false hope?

There's alot of trucks running headers and gaskets with-out the metal shielding,lol. I've had LT headers on my truck for 7 years and have been using the Remflex gaskets for the entire time with no issues,also have the same Remflex gaskets on the wifes long tubes on her 6.4 Challenger, and they been on for a couple years now with no issues either
Find a machine shop that does flywheels. I’m sure they could manufacture a jig to hold the manifold in the correct position.
Any machine shop that can resurface heads will be able to do them to.
To expand on PoMans comment, an acquaintance of mine went to a bone yard and purchased two exhaust manifolds off a wreck that had lots of miles on it since he needed the truck repaired without any delays by taking them to a machine shop (they where backlogged).
That's who I went to and the cost was like $250 per manifold.
That was a “we don’t want this work” quote IMO.
Recall would be for safety issue only. It would be a TSB, and they will not do because that would be admitting fault. Kind of like how they never issued a TSB for the lifter/cam failures even though they know is issue.
Do you have the part number of the ARP bolt set?
