I have a 1980 El Camino and in the process of replacing the body mounts.
I have all six (6) mount bolts out and the lower bushings removed. I put a 2x4 under the drip rail and not contacting the frame, and tried jacking the body up. The frame goes up with the body.
I thought maybe the metal inserts that are left in the upper mounts are so tight that they're causing the frame to lift also. I tried pulling the inserts out, but they just won't come out with it jacked up or setting on the ground. Now I'm really stuck. Any ideas?
