Rear motor mount bolt wouldn't budge!
#14
Assuming you have the mount out...

Tools Req:
VICE
Medium Flat Screwdriver
Large Flat Screwdriver
Regular Hammer
Deadblow (rubber) Mallet.

- Place mount in vice so you can access the small bushing. Then using the medium screwdriver go and hammer it in around the old bushing. Get it all the way through to the other side. Go all the way around like this.

- Using the medium or large screwdriver hammer it down and start prying around the bushing, you'll get it out eventually...it takes some time.

^^ Repeat above steps with large bushing. The large one is real easy, use the large screwdriver to pry it out quicker since you can get some good leverage on it.


- Once done, clean up the mount, I like to sand the inside with some 120grit sandpaper, then follow with some 220 to make it smooth.

- Then pound in the new bushings with the rubber mallet. DO NOT USE ANY LUBRICANT!!! I'm sure the instructions already say this...i'm just repeating it.
