[DeTomaso] Shift Happens - Broken Motor Mount Bolt

[Ken Green]

If the bolt end won't easily turn, if you VERY CARFULLY touch a large dia arc rod to the end of the bolt, and after it cools, try unscrewing the bolt???
I think you'd have to unplug anything with electrical circuits to not zap them.

  Hi Everyone -


  I was under the car this weekend, diagnosing my paperweight of an A/C
  system, when I noticed something a little unnerving: The right-front
  motor mount bolt had sheared off in the block, and the motor had
  shifted. With the hole in the motor mount no longer lining up with bolt
  remnants, there's no way I can "easy out" the bolt. Aside from pulling
  the engine/ZF, can I take out the other bolt, loosen the bolts on the
  other side and (using a block of wood under the oil pan), jack the
  engine up a bit to re-align or remove the motor mount to extract the
  bolt? Are there any other options I haven't thought of?


  Thanks,


  Scott (caretaker of 5638)
