Body Mount ??'s
I am changing all the body mounts, one side at a time. Got all the bolts out of the pass side, #1 broke, but thats ok, at least it came out.
Is there any particulat tip, trick or whatever to get #2 and #3 out?
I have the car up on jacks so I have plenty of room under it, I was thinking of useing a bottle jack to raise the body some, but don't know how far it can go. Those two mounts look pretty hard to get to.
Any advice?

You need to raise the side up 3 inches to get them out. Place 2-3 feet long 2x4 between the body and the jack to spread out the load. You still need to disconnect a lot of stuff even to lift it that much. The front and rear bumpers need to be loose from the frame, the steering rag joint needs to be disconnected, and the ground straps need to be watched (especially the one at the drivers side #2 mount area). Just take it slow.

Redwing, thanks. The front clip is off the car so thats not a problem, I'll look at the rear bumper
