69SS496 Feb 4th, 00, 8:52 AM Hi guys, This is my first resto so please tolerate any stupid questions! Are there any tricks/tips/easy ways to replace body mounts without taking the body off of the frame? Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated. Mike JWagner Feb 4th, 00, 9:02 AM Actually, it is not too bad. Remove all of the bolts from one side and lift the body with two jacks, using wood to spread the load. Also, put a board between the frame and body any time you have to reach in that space to replace the rubber mount. Re-install the bolts and then do the other side. Wes Colby Feb 4th, 00, 1:33 PM JWagner is right on. One other thing I would add is to loosen both sides at the same time and then start removing one side at at time...you will find that the body lifts alot easier off the frame with both sides loose. BTDT! Have fun! ------------------ 1970 Malibu - 383 'Fog Fed' Stroker.

Soak the bolts with some penetrating oil a few days before you go to work. And don't be surprised if you break a bolt head. BTDT. rick 69SS496 Feb 4th, 00, 8:03 PM Thanks a million guys!
