Default Swapping Motor Mounts

I can't get the two bolts to the block on each side loosened... I'm using a 3/8" drive ratchet with an extension and a 16mm socket. I probably should be using a breaker bar and 1/2" drive socket but don't want to spend $30 for those three things...

Let me know how you got yours off!

Thx!

you need to be part contorshionist and have thick skin on your knuckles.

Bascially intuision, soak them down in some penetrating oil while you drink a beer/smoke a cig. then go at it. Thats all i can tell you.

As for the tools, you really need the right tools, that always helps, see if a buddy or something has them and borrow them or something.
