I went to go replace my front motor mount today and discovered that the nut threaded on the through bolt was stuck. I don't know if anyone else had this same issue. I had to use force and leverage with a breaker bar(which my other mounts weren't like this), and it still didn't break loose. When I took the socket off the nut looked like this:
It now appears to be stripped. What am I supposed to do now?! I can't remove the nut, and it's stripped and the socket won't work anymore. This never happens to me. Why was it threaded soo damn tight?
Anyone who can help please let me know. I really hope I don't have to replace the second half of the mount thats attached to the transmission. If that's the case. What's the part number, and where can I get it?
