engine mount

i have sorted out my head gasket today fitted it and the engine runs better then wen i got her but i noticed the rear engine mount (the one under the passenger seat with an exhaust support bracket right by it has worn i have the new mount but when i started to change it i have found that i can only take two of the bolts off the other is a nut that but the the bolt keeps turning i cant see of any way to get this nut off so if someone can help that would be great as i have already been off the road for two weeks i dont want to be off for any longer

thanks

Hi... and welcome.
I'm afraid that you'll have to take up your carpet and soundproofing; than you will see how to tackle the problem.

Re: engine mount

I had a lot of fun with that bottom mount on my clx grrr
I've often got bolts like this out by putting downwards pressure on the bolt you're unbolting (wedge a screwdrive in or something) the downward pressure gives the nut on the top enough friction not to turn.. Molewrench is a good toy too

Dunno if that makes any sense or helps
