Removing Engine Mount

[djinuk 2]

I have baker bm engine mounts on my 205, I am spraying my engine bay and attacking the bits of rust which has set in and could do with removing my top engine mount, problem is i am sure when i fitted it it was simply a case of screwing it in , however now using blocks of wood and a hammer im having difficulty in getting it to shift. I could get a screw driver and hammer it around with that and a hammer but id sooner not ruin the mount if possible. Any ideas. It will be anti clockwise to remove it wont it ?

yeah its just a case of chisel/screwdriver and a hammer to knock it round. You might scuff the metal lip slightly but you wont damaged it badly, thats how i've removed all stiff ones in the past,oooh err

there is a tool for the job, not sure where you can get them from though, I made my own one from a suitable piece of scrap truck exhaust pipe.

 

 

6 cuts with a hacksaw and bend each tab inwards, these engage with the slots in the mount, place a bar through the holes drilled in the side
