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.

Art,
I already took off the front two bolts on the crossmember and was manuvering it around attempting to get it out, but it can't possible come out with the rubber part of the mount still attached to it, because it can't move forward far enough to clear the mount bracket which bolts to the tranny. I had the crossmember so close to being free of the mount(one end of one bolt was probably stuck in the hole by a couple mm), but couldn't get it out. So we tried manuvering it more and that didn't work. Then I unbolted the top tranny mount and jacked the tranny up a bit. Then we tried manuvering the mount and got it stuck. At this point, even if I could get the crossmember out, I've still got the rubber part of the mount stuck inside the bracket, and I can't figure out a way to get it out of there. And no, I don't have an engine hoist. This post has been edited by Coomer: Apr 4, 2005 - 2:03 PM -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
