I would like some advice on a situation I'm in. Today, I was trying to install front and rear motor mount inserts on my Celica, but I'm having an extremely difficult time removing the mounts. At first, the bolts were just on extremely tight, but I managed to remove all the 14mm bolts on the bottom. My problem is with the front mount's through bolt. I removed the nut at the end of it, but the bolt is stuck on the rubber part and I am unable to pull the bolt out. I have tried hammering the bolt out, but it will just not budge. When I try to turn the bolt, the mount just turns with it, and when the mount cannot turn anymore, the rubber part begins to twist and twist even tighter around the through bolt. I do not want to damage the mount too much, because I just have new inserts, not new motor mounts. I'm at the point of just buying new mounts completely so that I can just be very rough and hack the old ones out even.
If anybody has any ideas on how to remove the bolt without damaging the rubber part of the mount, please let me know. Thank you. --------------------  |

have you tried pushing the bolt back it, and grease it like no tomorrow. Oil, and grease plus wd40.
also maybe heat? use a heat gun. since you will buy new mounts -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
