I'm trying to install a hockey puck mount setup on my engine but I ran into a problem while trying to take the old mount off. As I tried to unscrew the bolt from the top of the motor mount the bolt broke inside the mount causing the screw just to keep turning without unscrewing. I tried unscrewing underneath the frame that it's mounted to but it keeps turning as well with out unscrewing. I tried really hard yanking and pulling but with no success. Anybody have and tips to get taking this darn old motor mount off? |

Support the engine/trans with a jack and remove the 3-15mm studs and remove the bracket from the car so you can work on the bench. You might end up just having to cut it off. |

Thanks for the reply.....I did remove the 3 studs from the trans so I can yank and pull I was hoping I didn't have to do that but I may need a dremel or a grinder to saw the screw off. There is not enough real estate though to get between the engine mount and the frame of the car to saw it off. |

If you put the bracket in a vice and then put an angular pressure on the mount and use an impact on the nut, it might break free. Otherwise you will have to cut it. |
