Body Mount Advise
Hello, the # 7 bolt spun, cut the head off the bolt and lifted the body with a jack cant get enough room to get bolt out. Also tried lowering the frame while holding up the body, better but I need 3 inches more. The engine is out of the car. Any tipps? Al

You need to remove the the rear bumper bolts on that side. Still don't think you are going to get 3". I cracked my inner fender well while jacking under the battery box so be careful. I made a couple of spreader bolts for 1 & 4 and had good separation but only enough to get my fingers in for the body mounts, maybe 2" tops. Then the bigger question is, have you figured out how you are going to replace the cage nut? I was lucky on mine and all the bolts but number 4 came out but I cut it off.
