I have a 97 2.3 5sp manual that I am trying to pull the engine and transmission that has 233k miles and swap an exact 97 2.3l 5sp with 80k miles.
I have everything ready except the transmission mount and crossmember and the motor mounts. I have tried the passenger motor mount nut and it just spins. The drivers side nut. I have tried with my impact wrench and it doesn't break loose yet. I ordered one of those induction heaters to try on the drivers side nut which hopefully works.
My question is, on the passenger side, will I have to pull the 3 bolts that hold the bracket that the motor mount is mounted in order to to the stud that the nut is on? Is there any easier way to get the engine mount loose (other than cutting bolts) so I can get the engine/transmission out?
Thanks for any ideas and help
