Went to replace the trans mount tonight and that 18 mm bolts will just not budge.
doing the following ... does anyone think this will work?
Started feeling around and saw that the top was covered in dirt. Cleaned out the threads (there's maybe 1/4 inch exposed on top). Ended up tieing some cotton rope and spraying with pb blaster. I expect the rope to help keep the blaster close and go on the threads.
So ... for removing the steel bolt in aluminum ... I'm thinking the following: low psi with impact gun. That should break it free without breaking the bolt like a pipe om breaker bar would.
Any other ideas ?
