I am trying to replace my motor mounts on my 92 4.3 4x4 5 speed S10 pickup but I can't get enough clearance to get the bolts off. How is this normally done?
Books say to jack the engine and just unbolt the mount- although the factory manual says to lift the cab or body but I don't know how or if it's needed (book doesn't say)
I removed the "pin" bolt on both sides but I can't raise the engine enough to get a socket to remove the center bolt on the mount and I can't remove the frame bracket since I can't reach all the nuts to keep then from turning.
What's the normal way this is done? Shops want $400 for this job.
thanks in advance for any tips!
