there are only three bolts that hold it on ....two in the block and one big one that that goes to the k- member the others you remove..at least I do when it's out.....they just hold the mounting bracket to the mount.........you'll have to place a block of wood under the oil pan and jack the motor out to get sufficient clearence to remove the mount

yeah i noticed theres only 1 bolt on the bottom..
i'm trying to figure out how to get to it..theres a pipe line in the way of it.
its too hard to get a wrench on it.

I use a 1/2 drive socket on a universal and an extension that's about 10 inches long and an impact...if you don't have an impact use a breaker bar on the end of the extension instead

yep, the power steering line will move around enough for you to get the socket on there, i just used a 3 inch extension with a swivel on it
