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)

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.
