Default dreaded ls1 motor mount removal HELP

hey guys, i'm having one hell of a time removing my driver's side motor mount. The 18MM bolt has stopped coming out (it still loosens but does nothing). Is this just because the engine needs to be raised or lowered more? I am in the process of removing my hooker LT headers and this damn motor mount is in the way of removing it so that's why i'm having to remove the motor mount





the 18mm bolt i was talking about

I highly recommend that! Once I put a cam in the motor wanted to shake out of the engine bay. It also helped with the headers banging on the k member. Grind some clearance if ya have to on the k member where you think the headers are going to hit.
