how about some penetrant, heat (heat gun), and a gentle "rap, rap, rap" with an air hammer.ShipFixer wrote:As pictures on the internet only tell so much...
For anyone who’s done this, when you jack the body up off of the top of the mounts, there’s nothing more connecting them to the body than the top surface of the mount right? There’s the one or two that have helper bolts which are also loosened but that’s all I see.
I’m thinking of using the jack to just get the weight off the mounts, take the bottom off of the mounts that can be separated, and twisting the metal crush sleeve free of whatever rust and whatnot has them bonded to the body with a set of really big vise grip pliers. Then lift the body the rest of the way, if I can get some or most of them then the ones I can’t twist free should have a lot more force applied and maybe break free on their own.
Makes sense right?
