How to remove motor mounts from a V6

[Supreme-Kustoms]

I have a v6 car and Im swaping a v8 I have the 6 banger out and the last thing I have to do is pull the frame mounts out I got a wrench in through the front hole and I got the front one out. The back and bottom are to far in for the wrench.

Does anyone have a way to get in there.

Its a 1978 Malibu wagon.

Thanks Dane

You have to get to them from underneath.

Use a socket and extension and go in from the holes surrounding the lower A-arm mounts.

It just takes patience. Just hold it from underneath with the socket, and loosen it from the top with a wrench.
If you try and spin the bolt from the bottom, it will just spin off the head of the bolt, and lead to long strings of profanity...

Thats what I figured but I wanted to double check with other first. GM is so nice to us some times 😀 .So I assume I do the same with the new mount?
