Ok so I finally got around to changing my rear subframe mounts.
First set back was getting the Passanger side main bolt completely out. Finally the bolt broke loose after I broke a 1/2" non-Craftsman 15 inch breaker bar. I purchased a craftsman 18 inch breaker bar. Using it and some pipe the bolt finally started to move slowly. I was afraid I had broke it but was not the case. So now I have the mount pryed out and the issue now is installing the new mount. I've read what I could find here and using some wood I made a jig so that I could push the mount into the hole using a floor jack. The jib supports the outer ring of the mount not the center portion. Also I used some silcone grease. After all this it still will only go so far and not seat completely. I'm wondering if I didn't use enough force ( I didn't life the entire car yet)? I'm wondering if I didn't use enough grease/lube ? I'm wondering after comparing the old to the new if it would hurt to shave the new mount to allow it to go in ? I'm also wondering if the 40ish degree weather today is making that new rubbber harder to work with? I took some photos of where I am so far and maybe some of you that have done this before can give me some answers or ideas.
