Changing motor mount bushings
Motor is already out.
Do I have to take the A arms off? Or are there any tricks? I can only get the 2 bolts that are closest to the center of the car, the 2 outside ones I cant seem to get. [I know is a PITA] The nuts are inside the K-Member and I cant seem to find a way to get to them, Id rather not take the A-Arms off [I think the steering stuff is in the way and dont feel like taking all that apart too]
Any tips or advice for changing them would help a ton.

Re: Changing motor mount bushings
Take out the center two bolts that you can get at. Drill out the rivet on the same side. Pry the clamshell open until you can get the bushing out. Put the new bushing in. Squeeze the clamshell closed and hold it shut with vice grips/clamps/whatever. Put the bolts back in.
