So, engine mounts aren't supposed to come out in two pieces, no? LOL. And WTF was Chrysler thinking making a bolt that is completely inaccessible with either a wrench or a socket on a WJ passenger side engine mount on the 4.7? Driver's side is done,but I don't know how the passenger side is getting swapped without pulling he engine...

What you dont have magic tools? It can be done without pulling the engine, Its not fun. You have to jack the engine up to get to it. Make sure you take the fan/fan shroud out before you jack it up.

Oh I jacked the crap out of the engine -- hopefully I didn't jack up my fan... seems to run fine.
Its that rear top passenger side bastid -- I can get a wrench on it, but I can't get enough torque on it to pop it. I know if it moves at all, I'll have it, but I can't get the little bastid to break loose.

nope. once the wrench is on, I have about an inch of potential movement at the working end before I hit the block or the manifold. Plus its so tight, I can't actually get my fist around the wrench, I'm just stuck pulling on it with a couple of fingers on each hand. My forearms hurt. I put it all back together so I can get to to work manana...:smsoap:
Edit: Hey Mike, your hinge is busted...

Did you take your skirt off?
At least you got the worse of the two done. When you bring it back in I can see if I can break it loose for you.

Line up a motor from the east coast, shouldn't cost you more than $200, and have someone strap it to a pallet and LTL/Greyhound it to you.
