Help with Motor Mount removal
 

Im trying to put this damn turbo in and right now Im stuck on getting the motor mounts off. I am going through the wheel well for the top nut on the passenger side with am impact gun set at 90psi and the friggin thing wont budge. I have the engine jacked up about 1/2-3/4 of a pump to take the weight off the mounts. Im just wondering how you all got yours off, especially since the 2 on the bottom will have to come off with a rachet since the gun wont fit in there. Any and all help is surely appreciated!

I got a small 3/8th's breaker and used the jack handle.

breaker bar ftw

power tools are useless when there are breaker bar's :)

Ya, I went and bought a rubber malott and beat the shit out of a rachet to get the bottom 2 bolts off. Now Im stuck on the bolt that goes into the rubber. That fucker wont budge!! Is that breaker bar material too? Theres just not enough leverage in there to really pull on it, or hit it wil a malott! I hate this car! Lol!!!

yeah get a long breaker bar

I also soaked the bolts with some pb blaster (penetrating oil)

Good form! I totally forgot the good ole lubricating spray. Damn it!! Wasted an entire day on dry bolts! WD-40 to the rescue!!

Ill give that a try in the morning, thanks!

lol
you will get it off....just make sure you are turning the bolt the right way....lol. I've made that mistake many times :eyetwitch

Lol! Ya, I only get confused when they are upside down, then I have to think really hard about which way it needs to go!

exactly...damn upside down bolts

also you will find yourself in some strange angles installing the greddy kit...so it gets confusing
just a heads up...lol
