unhooking motormounts How do you remove the through bolt on the motor mount? the bolt that holds the motor to the mount is in the way of the through bolt's lip and the head of the through bolt is in the way of the motor bolt.

I'm sure somebody on here has taken there LT1 out or lifted it at some point and it's hard for me to believe that nobody has had this issue but maybe I am the only person who experienced this... i hope my mounts aren't shot.

Hmmmmm... if they're sagging that much, how about using a jack to push one side up a little- or a piece of 2x4 wedged between the floor & the side of the block; tap it with a hammer to wedge it and lift one side of the engine maybe 1/2- 3/4"?
Last pair I did was pulling the engine in my current project. They came out pretty easy with a socket on one end, closed end of a combo wrench on the other side. Think it was socket front, wrench on back. Has resistance almost all the way, but it comes off. You can tap out the through bolt with a socket extension, with a little upward lifting force on the engine. A hoist is best for this, but a jack will do if you're careful and have an extra pair of hands.

I think I remember what he is talking about but the rubber in my driver side motor mount was crushed and the one on the block saged in the way of the long bolt that joins the two halfs. Time to change them.
