I have the same issue and haven't resolved it yet. I removed the inner fender twice and still wasn't able to get to the stud sufficiently. I probably need better tools also. The egr hose or whatever it's called is in the way, and I didn't want to take too much apart. I spoke to Marc Haibeck about it and he said it's about a 3 hour job and he knows what he's doing. I may just have him fix it, his shop isn't to far from me. I also read on Marc's website to use Loctite 565 on the stud threads. For the time being I made a little drip pan out of aluminum and wedged it under the stud to keep the oil off the exhaust manifold, it seems to be working, it's just a temporary fix.
