I have two bolts on a rear cross member that I cannot seem to get out. Does anyone know if there is some trick to getting to the top of these bolts? When I spin the nut on the bottom, the bolt just turns. I cannot see or feel the top of the bolt, it seems to be buried in the top of the rubber motor mount somewhere. Everything else is ready to go. Unless I come up with a better plan, the torch comes out tomorrow and I'm gonna cut those things out! Any other suggestions? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 | You should be able to find the top end of those bolts on top of the ears on the bellhousing. I've always been able to get them out with a little work.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | Sometimes you have to jack the engine up a little. The rubber is all walered out & is covering the bolt head or nut.

The bolt heads were buried in the rubber under 50 years of accumulated grime and road stuff.
The motor is out!.
Thanks for the help. | | |
