I am attempting to drop the engine and when I tried removing one of the bolts on the engine mount bar it broke. The bolt broke approximately 1-2 cm just inside the bar and the engine will not drop? Could the bolt be seized inside the bar and preventing the engine from dropping? ANy ideas on how I can free up the bar? I tried beating on it with a sledge and no luck? How about heat? HELP

It's not that unusual if the bar has been in place for many years. The tolaerance between the bolt and hole isn't that big and rust builds up between them. The head of the bolt really should be on the bottom. That way you can unscrew the nut and even if the bolt is stuck the bar will drop. Use a sawzall on the bracket in front of and behind the bar, or on the bar itself, as suggested above. |
