How far before the bolts line up?? Ive gove over an inch, the entire car is raising....the bolt is just as easy to turn the whole time, so it isnt getting easier - should it slide outta both holes really easily? Or do i have to force it thru the first then align it only for the second one? Also, do i have to remove both motor mounts if i just want the pass side raised??

 

Transmission and all move - whole car lifts, bolt does not slide out easily nor do mounts move - help please - need car running by tomorrow = (

 

Also car is only on ramps - does it need to be higher?

 

A little confused here. You are trying to get your motor mount bolt back in? The motor does not need to be jacked up much for the holes to line up. It should in fact sit on there fairly well, with minimal jacking. Play with it a little, there is a sweet spot where it will slide in and out fairly easy. If you clarify what it is you are doing then we can help more.

 

im trying to get it out, jacking is just moving the entire car up and down, the motor is not moving

 

sounds like you have it up too far

 

The front side seems fairly centered while the side towards the back of the car is at an angle

also - where exactly should the wood be and how large a piece of wood is needed?

 

even fully lowered it wont budge and looks the same both sides

 

Yep, if its moving the car, you need to come back down with it. It only takes a little bit to get the weight of the motor off the mount. After the nut is run off, you may be able to wiggle it out, or get a hammer and tap it out.

 

definately. drop it all the way down then up about a 1/4 of an inch. Doesn't need to go up much at all. I hope you get it done

 

Do Both Mounts Need To Be Unbolted? Or Just One?

 

all install guides is see say just unbolt one side? is it assumed the other side as well? It would make sense to me since you're jacking in center on trans - should the wood touch oil pan at all? Why is this so difficult for me

 

Just do the side you're working on, leave the other one alone till you're putting that side in.

 

I put a block on the jack and jacked on the oil pan . It worked, but I would probably do it on the tranny.

 

Trust him on this, if you get both of them undone at the same time you will struggle all night to get them both lined up again.
