heres what I did find out where the body mounts are located on the inside of your car take a di gringer with 4 inch cutoff wheel and cut a square hole rite over the nut use a spot cutter to remove the cage nut then get some 2by2 tube stock and cut short sections so that they fit down through your floor and seat against the body brace where the caege nut used to be you may have to trim the square hole in the floor pan so the tube section will fit in there but when your done you will never have to worry about stuck body mounts again as you can just stick two rachets on there one from the bottom and one from the top throught the tube stock you just insrted

p.s you should cut the tube sections flush with the floor and run a weld around the top edge aslo tack the bottom inside edge to the body brace
