Separating the stove from the exhaust pipe and then turning the stove around may be the toughest part of the job. Patience and planning are your friends. Also there may be enough movement of the exhaust pipe to cause it to leak smoke at the joints when you get it all back together, so watch out for that. If it leaks a little smoke afterwards, you can address it then by using foil tape. But first you have to find the leak, so wait for night time when it's dark, turn off all the lights in the room with the stove, and start up the stove. At startup it will smoke the most and using a flash light, shine it on the exhaust pipe looking for the smoke leaks. Good luck.
