Hehehe, I remember thinking this years ago when I did my first Bseries EF swap.

Here is what I do,

remove the 10mm bolt that anchors that tab that holds the heater valve. That will give you some clearance to use a LONG extention.

Put a 14mm socket (short, not deep )on the rear bolt first. Then put on a swivel joint. ( You can do this before you put the socket on the bolt to)

Then using a long extension and ratchet, remove as necessary. When you get it semi-loose, you can PIVOT the rear mount either way once you have removed the other two bolts.


Hope that helps.

 

A swivel joint would work , but im sure you know its a tight fit. I used a box wrench. You can reach that back bolt if you stick the wrench through the mount, Under the rubber , but above the x-member/or bottom of the mount. hold it str8 as possbile while you twist the mount towards drivers side loosing the bolt. After repeating process over and over it came out fairly easy.

Thats the key. Ryan

 

I dropped the rear crossmember by loosening the 4 bolts that hold it in place. That gave me enough clearance to stick a wrench onto that bolt.
