About a week ago I rounded off the top 19mm nut which holds the rear motor mount on. I tries vise-grips and I tried a hacksaw, but that nut just wasn't coming off. Enter Gene N. who responded to my pleas of frustrtion with, "Just unbolt and remove the mounting arm - its only 3 bolts." I pulled the bolts out today, removed the arm and then learned the real reason why the nut was fixed in its socket....
dirt.
There was so much grit and slime behine the oil pan (formerly referred to as the "sandbox") that the nut was simply immobile. I first tried cleaning the bolt in the laundry tub but when I ran short on Simple Green I took a leap and tried some pinesol - boy does that stuff work well with hot water.
Then after 45 minutes with a hacksaw I managed to remove the old motor mount from the mounting arm - tomorrow after a quick trip to the hardware store I'll be on my way to driveability again.
