So I go to remove the motor mounts off of my S13's cross member and turns out the nuts are stripped making it impossible to get them off the easy way, So now what? I tried getting in there with just a hacksaw blade but its taking forever and just wondering if there is a easier way, I have no intentions on sparing these mounts....

Cut the nut off with a cutoff wheel, burn it off, sawzall if off. Any of the above, or any other destructive method you can think of.

I cannot fucking manage to get those god dam things out.

I am unbelievably frustrated with this.

OH lord!
It seems like there is no easy way around this.
This may make or break my entire project... oh no.

Dremel tool with a small cut off wheel attachment? its small enough to get in the tight area... or a torch...
