Newbie here, The 18mm nut under the car for the motor mount just spins the ripped OEM motor mount and I do nmot have access to the top side bolt head because of the closed design of the top of the OEM motor mount. Has anyone had this problem before? How do I hold the the nut in order to turn the nut?

I can post a pic if needed.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply 32Krazy!, You know how when you go to the doctors office after feeling sick for a month and when you get in the examining room, you feel just fine? Welll that's what this little bastard motor mount did to me. Drove me crazy for an hour and then I posted for help, went back and figured a way to jam a 17mm wrench under the top hat part and it just barely (after some prying force to lift it) fit and held the top hat while I turned the bottom 18mm to sweet freedom!

After that, it was easy-peasy to put the new mount in and tighten it.

I just hope that you won't think I cried wolf for help and when I really need it.....

Thanks again!

 

no worries. i was waiting before i went out to the shed for the old mount i had and see if it had a square spot like my t/s semi solids do.
