Default Driver Side Motor Mount Just Spins...

Im trying to replace my motor mount since its not even connected anymore but the one bolt just keeps spinning...

Any trips to get it off without cutting the frame? Its one of the 14mm ones not the bigger one.

Lower. I've also tried using a huge pry bar to try to add pressure to the top nut that broke loose oof the weld.

For.now I just tightened the one nut down. Hoping for the best oh well.

Did you try spinning the bolt while prying? Ask a friend for help. I had the same case and that's what I did. I used a lot of lubrication. PB Blaster worked well for me.

If its the mount where #10 goes into #8 and the bolt keeps spinning I have bad news for you brotha......
I went through this the hard way, the nut is welded to the inside the frame. Unfortunately you will have to cut your frame to get it out. Same procedure on the other side with the mount next to the crank.

Yea thats the one, oh well the mount has been broken for more than 60k miles no point cutting my frame seeing how if the motor has been fine that long it will be fine for another 60k.

Oh well...

Luckly mine was passenger side so i had room to cut the top open a bit. I dont think drivers side is worth taking evereything out.
