motormount bolts stuck

sb2f5marine69 · March 25th, 2007, 09:21 PM

Has anyone ever broke a easy out. I broke on this weekend and still have 3 bolts left to get out. I have tried a 4 foot cheeter bar 1/2 drive a 1/2 drive impact and easy outs along with bolt extractors and have ran out of ideas. Does anyone have any and has enyone had the same problem???

Try putting a torch to if for a few minutes, ideally like a mapp gas portable so that you can get in there easy, as it sounds like you are on a lift already.

I'm facing the same problem.. in addition, somebody tried to remove the lower nut so badly he damaged the hex shape. Access is the main issue, otherwise I'd use a nut cracker (splitter).

I bought an impact gun with long extension that I'll use this weekend. If it dont work, got nothing else but to grind off the mounts from the topside, cuz my motor is out already (the 2 bolts that fix the mount to the motor were easy to remove, but the nut that fixes the mount to the chassis is stuck)

what about a bit driller? i remember when my bro snapped a bolt holding on his water pump and the bitch wouldnt ever come out. so my grandfather got a diamond tipped drill bit and drilled the damn bolt out. Only thing is, you have to watch how far in you drill so you dont drill through the mount.
