Hello,
I'm replacing the stock body mounts. It's been going OK so far. The first bolt has not spun on me. The problem I'm running into is how do I remove the rear bushing on a 74. Most videos suggest doing just one mount at a time but this year has this stupid metal tube/flange that would require me to lift it about 2-3" to clear the frame.
I don't think I can do it one at a time on the rears. Perhaps I can remove both rear mounts but is this bad to do with the fenders and everything still attached? It seems like a lot of stress.
Also, I'm using an electric impact to remove the bolts. Most people are using breaker bars. I honestly have less problems with the impact but would welcome advice. Hopefully I'm not going to need to cut open my floors.
