I am literally in the middle of installing my L/T's and I unbolted the engine from the motor mounts and jacked up the motor almost 2 1/2 inches. THe damn motor mounts are stuck! Anyone got any ideas. I mean they are not touching the bolt you can see from the top of the engine but it seems like they are stuck to the engine. I removed 4 nuts from the mounts....am I missing something. I promise Ill post a clip tomorrow cuz i dont see this project going tooo late into the night....unless I cant get these damn mounts off.



EDIT: I am having a hard time removing the steering shaft to get the drivers side header in place. I bought a Haynes Manual but it says I need to remove the steering wheel and basically pull the entire column. Has anyone actully done this?

There is 1 stud & 3 bolts on the mounts, remove the nut, Then remove the stud.
I can't remember if there is 1 on each side, or just 1 on 1 mount.
Believe it was for a negative cable.

tap the mount with a hammer,sometimes the motor mount sticks to the block.

here's a detailed write-up on replacing motor mounts, make sure you got all the bolts.

I ended up losing my internet connection out back in the barn but I got more lighting and realized that there was another bolt on the front of both motor mounts. I got everything stock off the car in about 3 hours....with the 35 mins I tried to get the mounts off. Tomorrow I will get back at it and hopefully get this thing rolling again.

Any one got any ideas on how to get the Driver side header past the steering shaft?

howarmat

you have to remove the steering shaft

I figured that. When Im under the car looking at it there is a swivle joint thing right about the power steering pump. I see on bolt that holds the shat to the swivle but nothing higher to remove the actual shaft? Is there another bolt more towards the fire wall that Im missing?
