    If you can't get a blowtorch, or an impact, or an angle grinder, or enough leverage in there, get a jack.

    Or get a torque wrench and copper anti-cease and think of the future.

    There's always a way around everything

    What is the bolt/nut on?

    Job's a good 'un.

    10 bolts, engine mounts and sub-frame cross-member. Couldn't turn a ratchet in there they were wound up so tight. Took 12 hours to re-fit the mounts. have a close look at the play on the ratchet in the car jack photo and you'll understand why. Some of them I could have got to with an impact but my compressor's too feeble for that craic.
