Default Breaking the 14mm driver side motor mount bolts loose.
Well doing my ES Motor Mount Insert install. Got the passenger side pretty easily. But the driver side is being a bitch. I tried various things. Poles on the end of the wrench for a breaker bar. Theres really no room for anything. Anyone have any tips?

also try jacking up the motor w/ a jack to get some of the weight off of the mount.. and then use a breaker bar and you should not have any problems at all..

I would say torch it but too close to the motor. Nothing you can do but use some WD-40 and a monster *** breaker bar.
