    well i wanna start out with a thanks to everyone for helping today. Pat, Rob, and John.


    We figured out that it can't be done without pulling the motor. Not enough room for a drill and very hard to get the bit straight for an easy out. All we did today was screw up one the them and it was the easiest one to reach. o well. Thanks again to you guys for helping me out and making me realize further that I NEED MORE TOOLS!!!!


    Anybody recommend a shop?

    Sorry buddy. Good luck. I think that the out door rec center has a flat bed trailer you can use to tow the jeep to the shop(if you don't want to strap it)

    i got free towing with insurnace

    Bolts were a week grade steel and the fact that the mounts are bolyed to the engine with 3 or 4 bolts that are widely placed also look at the bosses how far they stick out of the block. there is an after market company that sell replacement mounts that bolt to the block in more locations to spread the load out more.
