Thread: motor mount

Tweet

i am having one h*** of a time removing the rear bolt from the passenger side motor mount. the one that is bolted to the block. I have tried differnet jack positions and everything else i can think of. Any trick to this that i do not know about. I have already said all the bad words i know. this is on a 71 monte. sorry i did not realize that i was asking under charlie's name this is jyardgirl. thanks

Is the problem that you can't get a straight shot onto it with a socket, extension and breaker bar? Every one of us has a drawer full of wrenches we have heated , bent, and generally butchered up for a one time use to get something like this loose. It may be that you have to do something like that.

what does the tool that i need to make look like. i am going nuts

Great idea Denny. There is no one tool that we can suggest, you just have to look at the bolt and devise a plan to get some way to turn it. Sometimes it involves hooking two wrenches together, or some other leverage method.

We've all had bolts that were seemingly impossible to reach or turn, and after a little thought, and losing some skin and blood, they usually will come out.

thanks for the help i finally got the mount off though i thought up a whole new vocabulary for it. now all i have to do is put a new one on

See, you won. Now, doesn't that feel good???????

Don

it does feel good but now i am very sore from laying on one shoulder too long and have not even started putting in the new mount. have to be finished before 5:00 because charlie and i have a date for a haunted hayride and some hot chocolate tonight. annual support for students without drugs.
