My car is ****ing killing me..... I'm trying to raise the motor up some via an engine hoist so I can replace my oil pan gasket, and this thing is fighting me every step of the goddamn way, as usual

Anyway, I have the driver's side motor mount thru bolt out, the trans mount loose and the cherry picker in place. I got the passenger side motor mount bolt loose, then when I tried to slide it through there is some sort of line, I'm guessing A/C in the way and the bolt won't come out I'm stuck here, help me out!

 

John how about taking the bolts out that hold the motor mount down out if that helps.John remember "its the effort that counts"good luck with it

 

Are you talking about the bolts that hold the other side of the mount to the engine block?

Oh and if it was the effort that counts this thing would run 10's Juuuuuuust messin with ya!

 

Do a little custom bending as necessary,

 

Well Joe, I was just about to bring out the GM specialty tool(AKA the hammer) and work on bending that line. If no one gives me a better answer in the next few minutes and I can't get to the other bolts then I will begin some custom work

 

John we know your other allias is Mcavier

 

Let's hope so!

 

Hey, same thing happened to me when I was installing my headers. Here's what you do - there is a bracket on one of the AC lines that holds it to the compressor. There is just one bolt holding this little bracket (its just a piece of bent sheet metal). Undo that bracket, and just bend that line away from the bolt. You can bend it with your bare hands very easily. Hope this helps you out.

 

Thanks for all the help guys... I ended up softly beating the crap outta that line...... It's still kinda in the way, but I can work around it.
