His motor mount bolt not the lugs on his wheels. A bolt Extractor would work perfect though I have never used one.

Yeah, the extractor sounds like a good idea. And thankfully it is a bolt on your motor mount not your wheels ... I ran into that issue. NO fun at all, especially when the AutoX wheels are stuck on the car.

Yes, Zab and I have found 90-100lbs/ft works best.

When it is below 85 ... you get a funky wobble that isn't noticeable, until you take a turn a bit hard. Just a bit. Then you hear slight metal scrapping and your handling gets funky.

ok, my naming in english sucks, i round-stripped the nut on the bolt, not the bolt itself, so the nut is round and wouldn't provide any grab anymore, and it sits there very, very, very tight so i can't take it off, that's why I was thinking about 'grip tite' as it supposedly should get a grip on rounded nut.... but if you guys can recommend something better, or know any kits for this kind of job, please recommend

the transmission mount is completely broken so i need to replace it ASAP



@image, at first glance 'tall grass' reminded me of Jurassic Park, tho i didn't find it funny at all :P oh and velociraptors were some really mean killing machines :)

Which nut are you talking about? The one that holds the mount onto the bracket?

Ok I have no idea what your talking about? Which motor mount are you talking about? The passenger side? Only 3 bolts hold it to the frame, then the one for the mount to the bracket and then the two studs w/nuts that hold it to the motor.

I think he is trying to change out the trans mount on the drivers side since its the only one with "4 small ones".
