Hey, I have the L98 outta my 90 Formula, and I need new motor mounts. I know there are nuts underneath in the crossmember, and I was wondering how the hell I'm supposed to get them off? Thanks.

 

The big red wrench my friend.

You could undo to A-arms and let those drop outta the way, I think thats the only alternative to using a torch. Although, I have heard of guys bending box end wrenches to fit in that slot. Its a pain any way you look at it.

Have you bought the mounts yet? I have a set I'd like to get rid of. They're the ones from Auto Zone. I bought them when I did my motor swap, but the guy before me must have changed them, cause they were almost new. Becuase of the major PITA it is to change these, I just left them be, and haven't had any problems. I've never got around to returning mine, so if anyone wants em, make an offer.

 

i bought a crow's foot open end and put it on an extension and used a ratchet. i had to change motor mounts out when i had my 82 berlinetta.

Doing the mounts really isn't that hard once you figure out the right method and acquire the custom tools
I put a slight bend in a box end wrench to get to the nuts. It just takes some time monkey-ing around with it to make it work.

 

Thanks Guys, I'll see what i Can do tommarow.

 

Only tool we needed was small hands. I don't have small hands but it would have helped. We just used a boxed end wrench and our fingertips. Yes we dropped the wrench and a couple nuts into the crossmember. Wasn't hard getting them out though. It took us about an hour to get both done.
