    Brackets will always come off if you do not bugger up the attaching bolts or nuts. The easy way is with an IMPACT wrench. A 26" breaker bar will also remove anything from a car.
    Once you get the bracket off, roll the engine toward the front for better rear head access.

      are you talking about the "dogebone" motor mount brackets?
      those bolts can suck to remove lol

      use heat... or wd40 for a few days... then heat it
      dont heat the bolt, heat the nut
      and dont make it red

        the bottom half of the motor mount that you can see the two bolts from the wheel well. ill try the breaker bar already have one \. they have been soaking in pb blast since saturday morning. how much better would it be to use the heads from the 3400 instead of keeping the stock 3100. is there a great advantage on using them. thanks for the awnsers in advance.
        its either take the mount completely off so i can get the alternator support bracket off or screw it and leave them on , id really like to change the heads out though might as well since im in there.
