Subject:      Replacing motor mounts 84 wb-  Help!!!

Trying to replace my mounts.  Left one, at least is
bad.  I've remove those large bolts that go through
the mounts and the engine brace.  Just can't think of
what us 'Mericuns call that thing so I'll use the Brit
word.

As usual, I'm having some difficulties.  The bolt
through the right bolt won't budge.  Using Bulley
Procedure (clean, soak, tap, heat).  No luck so far.

Also can't get the nut off the top of the left mount.
In fact, a cannot get a wrench or socket on it.
That's the one that is hiding beneath the water pump
pulley.

What should I do?  Can I tilt the engine enough with
the right mount still connected?  Or must I remove
whole brace (after supporting the engine)?  Is there
some secret to that nut hiding under the water pump
pulley?  Must I remove the water pump pulley or water
pump to get at that stubborn little bolt?

I'm currently in no mail mode.  Please cc me at
mrnimmo@yahoo.com.

Thanks,
