Hey all,

I'm trying to remove my engine at the moment and cannot remove the two upper trans/engine bolts. Lower two were easy to remove and yet the uppers I cannot even budge.

I have used releasing agent, hot water, hitting it on the end with a hammer so any other ideas or tips would be very much appreciated. I also had a mate help and between us had no success.

Regards,

Bones

I'm in the middle of an engine transplant,
and one of my hard to reach bolts did same thing.
I tried all the same things.
In the end I went out and bought a cheap dremel copy,
rotary tool.
It has a long flixi extension,
and was perfect for cutting off the nut.
Damaged stud, too, but I used a bolt instead.
Good luck, it is a pain.

Take the box out with it, not much more effort.

I ran abit of rope onto a spanner and out under the guard through the wheel arch. Helped get some more force onto the bolts.. But easy enough to just pull the whole lot at once..

Now I pulled the Vit motor out,
it is clear pulling the lot out would be easier,

but in my case,
I don't have a roof thats high enough to allow that,
or a lifter capable of it.

Theres some shit hard bolts to undo,
my Sierra was easier but.

Thanks everyone,

Took the two out together, was much easier. I was able to get one of the bolts out, however, the pass side had to be grinded off as it became very rounded.....

Pics for proof :) and as I said above thanks again!! Next step will be getting the new engine back and working out how to reverse the process!!!
