so i'm pulling the bad engine mounts from my farm-field engine chappy and i installed a couple weeks ago...
(don't even ask why i didn't swap them when it was on the stand) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/051103-stupid4.gif) the cross bar is loose hanging on the clutch cable (ok) shift bar's out and i've gotten the passenger side one out. drivers side is clogged with gunk, so i go for the bracket like i did the other one. i start cranking on the top bolt with the ratchet and become concerned just as i realize i've loosened the bolt enough to tighten the back of the ratchet snug against the fan housing. now i can't get to the dial on the ratchet to reverse my path to free the wrench. the socket's too slippery to turn with a channel lock, but i'll try to get after it with a needle nose vise grip. i don't know about you, but i'm pretty sure i'm too stupid to own this car.
