alright....I need some opinions.....I bought the body mount kit for my car and I wanted to install it before putting the tremac in for clearance reasons....read all of the tech stuff on how to do it and find myself almost afraid to start this particular task....car was a rust bucket (you west coasters wouldnt understand) when I got it and I put allot of time into the body but never did the mounts....I just know that some of the bolts are going to break if I try and remove them and that will be a whole can of worms on a car that is fully assembled (I think anyways)....I dont want to delay my project so would you bite the bullet and just do the body bushings or get the car back together and running and worry about the bushings at a later date

This is one of those unplanned for items, wasn't figuring on having to do, don't have time for this, I just want to get finished ,,,moments. However, (and this is true 99 times out of a hundred) when you finish you'll know it was the right thing to do and the right time to do it. I',m glad when I did my car my father was always there to keep me on the right path with this kind of stuff.

It's an esay job IF they don't spin the cage nuts. If they spin you have to cut open the floor to find them and remove them. Just of the top of my head here but why not drill a little hole in the top of the caged nut sheet metal and spray penitrent on them for a week prior to trying to un screw them? Havn't tried it, just thinking.
