First I would like to thank McMark for the great article which has enabled everyone else in the club do this in 3 hours. Somehow in my overzealous excitement I must have missed the part that said.....
"No matter what you do or how hard you try, Jerry, you will never....ever get the rear transmission mount bolts out because some sadist has welded what appears to be a crazy metal heat shield over top of the muffler and within 1 inch of the head of the bolt to make double sure that you will have no chance in hell of accessing the otherwise inaccessable head of the bolt....and turning the the nut will of course just make it all just spin and spin and spin." (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) Ok...venting done. So what would you guys do? Impact wrench.....a one inch long vice grips....sawzall? Anyone? The mounts are toast already anyway. |
