HELP!!! Upper engine mount bolt
Monday, August 08, 2005 3:36 PM
man has anyone had such a hard time getting the bolt where the coolant tank is out. After moving the tank i used 2 different extentions, one longer one but that didnt work so i thought i'd use a shorter one for more leverage but still NO! I even put wd4 on it 2 times and let it sit and doesnt budge. do you guys have any suggestions?

impact wrench. I had the same problem. when i used my 3/4 socket wrench and a 3 foot pipe for leverage I ended up snapping my socket wrench (thank god for craftsman warrenty) then i got pissed and borrowed my buddys impact wrench and it came out like it was nothing

I got PB Blaster from Autozone I believe. I would also use an impact on it if you have access to one. If not squirt the bolt with PB, wait a minute for it to soak in and then try to get the longest bfreaker bar that you can to break the bolt loose. You could also put a longer pipe on the end of the breaker bar for more leverage. I wouldn't use a socket wrench to get the bolt loose because the gears inside the wrench will probably break when you apply all the torque. There are no gears inside of a breaker bar.
