Well..
I have swapped motor mounts in 7M cars many many many times.. Today I tackled putting some solid mounts on my car. Pulling the broken stockers was almost the biggest pain in the ass thing I have done with a Supra.. (and I have done a lot)... Thankfully there was a nice straight shot through my ex manifold to get the right side bold (which was tight as hell), the left side however is a different story! If you ever find yourself fighting this top bolt, heres how I got it.. Lift the motor until the tranny hits the tunnel... Then (if you dont have air tools your FUCKED! lol) using an air ratchet, get on the 17mm bolt. Then string your air hose down through the brake booster lines and connect it to your ratchet. Then if your bolt is as tight as mine was and your air ratchet sucks as hard as mine does, it should take you about 150 hits of the ratchet before it finally turns! lol
just thought I'd share... and IMO if you have stock twins and want to do this, you may be fubar'd.. lol
Going back out to the garage to install the AAP solid mounts..
