So here is a picture of one nut that I can remove. I am trying to remove the engine mount from a 2.7. This is the nut at the top right if you are facing the motormount. Seems pretty straight forward but my socket and wrench do not fit in the space and the box wrench just does not have quite enough depth or angle. Do you need a shallow socket or am I missing somthing??

This is going to be a long build if I can't even get bpast a damn nut on the tear down. oh well

Its the one in the center shrouded by the mount.

1/4" breaker bar and socket. I don't remember if the same combination of 3/8 will work.

Put socket on .. attach breaker bar and loosen. Hopefully it will spin by hand once broken loose.

Once you remove the other 3 you can pull on the nose piece as the nut comes off.

3/8 works but is a bit tight. I can see where a 1/4 would be easier. Slits, I knew you would get me going when I saw you posting. Thanks

Admins please move this to the Sandbox. I am not sure it is appropriate for Jonathan to ask how to get his nut off in the Garage...

Especially with help from broke back mountain man.

Somebody still owns a 12 point socket?

Slits??? You listened to Slits?? Talk about rolling the dice....

OK, I got my nut off. No need to kick a guy when he is down.

The way I use tools, or don't as the case may be, I will never wear these out!

Ok that's a new one... A guy gets his nut off and feels down?

I guess I was down because I couldn't get it off....... Ok, Ok you are right!

Hmmm, sounds like it was a good thing I was camping with the girlfriend for the weekend. Jonathan had his "tools" out.

Sorry, posted this thread on another thread to help a guy out and then re-read this thread and couldn't stop laughing. BTTT for the grins.
