I'm trying to change crossmembers in my Celi, but now I'm horribly stuck after trying to get the crossmember out for a good couple hours.
I got the bolts out of the front and rear mounts, and loosened up everything on the crossmember. In the attempt to get the rear tranny mount to move up so that the bolts on it would clear the crossmember, the mount got twisted sideways and is now completely stuck. I tried everything, but nothing seems to work to get it loose.  Here's some pics: Anyone got any ideas? By the way, if my new crossmember and mounts don't bolt up, I think I'm gonna torch the Yelli Celi. I absolutely HATE the mechanical aspect of working on cars.

coomer, looking at your pic again... it seems like you are just trying to take the mount out. that aint going to happen. you have to unblot the front mount and and the 2 bolts (12mm i think) that connect the crossmember to the front of the car. then loosen the rear mount (like you did in the pic) and take the whole bar out with the mount on it. use a jack under the tranny if you need to create more room. just remember to have the left and right motor mounts on the car.
if that still dosnt work, then have to drop the 2nd crossmember that the mount rests on.. its about 4 bolts on each side. make sure you have a floor jack under it, so that you can control how far down it drops. its very heavy and if you get it off center, it can be a bitch to lign up correctly.
