I got my driver's side mount off fine but the passengers side WILL NOT budge. I'm trying to remove it from the frame and have rounded the bolt.

How would you suggest i remove it now? I was thinking grinding it off from the top or something. I know someone else has had this problem. What did you do??

Gracias all

One of those, a hammer, and either an impact or a big breaker bar.

If you don't need the mount, cut the stud off from the top. If you're trying to save it, cut the nut apart with either a nut splitter, grinder, or dremel.

The lower nuts are notorious for being seized on.

Nut. Not bolt.

Nut. Not bolt.

pardon me.

I'm not trying to save it so i'll probably grind it off from the top then.

dude i took an hour trying to grind one off recently. i was replacing with poly; mounts so i haggared the rap out of it.

a dremmel + really wierd angle + a million of those wheels because they always break + cursing = problem solved.

stripped bolt remover

i used this i think, well if this is those sockets that are meant for stripped bolts it worked great with a breaker bar GL..

Don't cut through the rubber of stock mounts. You'll be in for a silicone surprise. Cutting through the bolt between the mount and the subframe was a PITA and scared up the subframe. The nut extractors work like butter and will only use them from now on.
