I am pulling the engine out my wagon to replace it with a CCR rebuilt one. So far everything has been going very smooth. I just need to pull the bell housing bolts and the motor mount bolts.

 

I got the passenger side mount with no trouble but the driver side is being tough. I can't even get a wrench on it.

 

Am I missing something simple here. Please help.

It should be a straight shot from underneath, unless the crossmember has been bent.

A swivel socket helps alot. Thats one where the socket is built into the wobble. You could also remove the axle inner joint from the trans and hit it directly.

thanks guys. I was trying to get it from under the hood.

 

Shawn thanks for the overly detailed description of a swivel socket.

When we pulled my motor out to change the clutch and stuff...I shot all the bolts with PB Blaster the night before...seemed to help alot..and I got mine from undernieth. The big problem was getting the exhaust bolts off without breaking them.

take the starter off. that seems to help me alot.

you gotta move the canuter valve thirty seven degrees to the aft and spit just right........
