how to change motor mounts?
hi guys, we got the motor out of my dads 84 z28 for rebuild, and im changing the motor mounts (the ones with rubber that attatch to the crossmember). we got the drivers side off, but cant get a wrench up in the passenger side. whats the easiest way to get this one out? does the a-arm have to be removed? and if so, can you get the spring back in with the engine out? someone once told me you cant put springs in with the engine out cause theres not enough weight on the front of the car? thanks

It can do it without pulling the A-arm. You need a long 15 mm combination wrench that you can bend the angle on the box end more to match the nut.
Also use flange nuts when you put the mounts back in, as they will stay in the wrench when you go to start the bolt back in them.

If you need a picture of the wrench, lemme know.
