Engine mount bolt stripping.....need help!
The drivers side engine mount bolt is stripping and still won't budge. This was after a megadose of PB Blaster also. What can I do about the stripping bolt? Any help appreciated, JEFF

Are you talking about the allen bolt up inside the mount that you reach through the cross-beam to remove? If so....if it rounds out, find a 12point socket of just slightly smaller size than the head of the bolt, put it on an extension, and pound it onto the head of the allen bolt....then undo with socket...should work.

Here's my thread on what I went through with a stripped motor mount bolt. I ended up drilling it out which is much easier than you'd imagine. Check the last post in this thread:

The remaining shaft of the bolt will unscrew with your fingers once the head of the bolt is drilled off. With the head off, there is no tension on the bolt shaft and it comes out with your fingers.
