Consulting a auto parts store clerk, I'm under pressurizing the air tool at 90psi. I'll crank it up a bit higher tonight & see. The tank is good to 150psi.

Norm, the bracket is correct but the bolt is not. If thestock bolt won't fit I like your washer idea!

Success - it was low air pressure on the impact tool. I did some research & 90 psi at the tank drops in the line depending on the length of hose. so I bumped it to 110psi for my line & the bolt came off in about 10 seconds on high. I'm going out to watch need for speed now. I retorqued it for the moment & will do the job in the morning. I also got the whiteline trans mount in tonight - first time the car has chirped 3rd gear, with no lock-out!

Good deal glad it came apart for you, by the way which UCA did you go with, and of course pics are always good.

The factory torque on that bolt is 325 lb-ft. I don't know where 240 came from - it's too low.
