I have decided to replace the original rear motor mounts with the rear float-A-Motor systems. 2 years ago I put new rubber on the old mounts and I had no trouble getting the motor mounts out. It made a little improvement but not much. A few months ago I had the engine rebuilt and kept the original system rear motor mounts. But now I have changed my mind and ordered the Float-A-Motor for the rear. Kept the original front motor mount. When I originally replaced the rubber in the motor mounts I had no trouble getting the motor mounts out. I tried for 2 hours this weekend and could not get even one to move more than 1/4". I am only guessing but I think the guy that rebuilt the engine must have glued the rubber in place. So now the mount will not slide at all off the rubber. Any ideas on how I can get the motor mounts out? Yes I jacked up the transmission about 1". And then 1 1/2". Did not make any difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
