sonofsam 5 Posted May 29, 2007 What you need to do is use a chisel/flat blade screwdriver and hammer it around undoing it, on the metal ring underneath were yours has broken off. There is a captive nut underneath. Hope that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted May 29, 2007 (edited) Hit it with a hammer and chisel on the metal ring. edit: too slow, less than a minute in it though Edited May 29, 2007 by jackherer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jas-E 1 Posted May 29, 2007 Hello all, Well when i replaced my cam belt and water pump i relised that my top engine mount was completly past it...... I had the exact same problem when i changed my cam belt. You really need to whack the life outta it!!Well whats left of it anyway.. I found that if you smack the bottom metal ring on the side, that shakes it up abit, then fit in a pry bar on the notches and go mental at it. It'll open eventually and once cracked you can open it with your hand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonofsam 5 Posted May 29, 2007 Also be aware that if the captive nut starts spinning or gets threaded, you will be in a whole new world of sh*t! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or when the thread snaps off your brand new group N engine mount :S Edd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
