Hey everyone!. The front most motor bracket mount sheered off. I have included a photo. The motor is still in the vehicle. Does anyone have any first hand experience with this, and how to extract it? We know about extractor bolts, and the weld/washer trick (scared to weld it to the block), but theres not a lot of room in here, and we don't want to remove the motor if we can help it. Are these bolts in with locktite? Please help!

Thanks!

That is a terrible spot to get at, and I know very little room to work with. Even a 90 degree drill would likely not have enough room there. Are you using the cross bar engine support? Might be able to raise or lower the smart side of the engine enough to get at it with a 90 degree drill but still doubtful. Good luck with your efforts, I just finished up a timing belt job and glad that did not happen. I've had similar issues working on a 4.2 timing job, water pump bolt sheared, but with the entire front of the car open it was easy enough to get at.
