any place that sells tools........i work on helicopters, and we have alot of huge bolts etc...and anytime we've dropped engines you have to loosen all screws first, and lift up on the engine. Now a trick i use to break loose tight bolts with out a breaker bar, is keep the other bolts in, and get a wrench put it on the one your getting off *also i'd tighten the others in a little just in case. But take your wrench and put it on the one you can't get off, and use a rubber malet and hit the wrench the sudden impact will jar it loose. I'm sure it doesn't have as much stress as a huge turbine engine from our little 2.0 I4 cylinder. Try that man. Just tape the wrench hard with the mallet after the other bolts are back in a little tight. Just to get it loosened........

hope he gets it out.......i'd be pissed if i was in his place.....
good luck dude

hey man age has nothing to do with it. I know guys that are 45 that have never worked on a car. And i'm sure if this bolt has stress from his engine then its going to be a pain in the ass to get out cause the supporting bolts are out..........way out of line statement there. Strength wouldnt' matter, you heard him saying he pushed with his legs....?
thats what i was thinking......they don't like to take that for an answer in USMC 
......i've dealt with stuff like this alot....its annouying he just needs to hang in there. I'd step away for 20 minutes and come back and try again....that helps too

oh and if something isnt being done properly then you could put a ton of pressure on it and still end up breakin the head off rather than unscrewing it... it comes down to experince and not how hard he's pushing something, although in some cases that will help as well
Its all good man, i just took that like you were giving him a hard time, and i didn't think that really was helping the situation. I thought u were being smart. BUt yes you are right. Trust me i know. I thought u were making fun of em.....DZnutz said:

haha whoops should of come back earlier to let everybody know that I ended up getting a breaker bar and it took bout 5 min after that. I was just seriously stressed out before bc i was workin on it for hrs and had got nothing accomplished. And yes this is my first time workin on cars. Everything i do under the hood and everything will be for the first time. Im just learning. gotta start somewhere. And probably a good idea to get the proper tools before starting a install. thanks for all the help though

put the other bolts back in to take some tension off, then jack it up and take all the bolts out...

yea but the awr mounts didnt come with bolts the bolts i cant get a wrench on at all they are (guess not wrechable.) this was done by someone else i am the second owner of the msp so im guessing the person befor me tried to get the mount off. 17mm will not fit on the bolt nothing will? so i def need a new bolt if i ever get it off
