OK im doing a motor swap and i got my old motor out but the motor mounts are still attached to the block. Its not the mounts that i need i have new ones but i need the bracket that they attach to that then goes into the block the bolts wont budge. I have WD-40'd them and used impact wrenches and they wont move. Any one got any other tricks up there sleeves??? or can i order new brackets?? I just want to get this done.

Thanks for the help

Put a 6-point boxed end wrench on the bolts and hit it with a 3- pound hammer. A little heat around the bolt holes would help you, but you have to be careful playing with fire, just a little.

Sounds like you need a better impact gun, or a larger breaker bar, if you can get it in there
