Rear Engine Mount
1st of all just thought I'd say hello to all you peeps.
I've just bought a '98 six days EC250 last weekend and already got it 75% stripped down as I'm gonna rebuild it,Im having trouble removing the rear engine mount (the one that goes through the frame with 2 nuts either side) I've soaked it in wd40 and got both nuts off,however I cant seem to shift it, I realise that it probably hasn't been out in 13 years but is there anyway it comes out I should know about?? Obviously I've hit it with hammer form both sides and when that didn't work I got a BIGGER hammer but again still not moving. Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated as I just want to get it completely stripped so I can start on the frame. |

I ended up with the frame in a hydraulic press, took 15 metric tonnes before it loosened, and that was only after one year. Cant imagine what 13 years might do..

PB Blaster works 100 times better than WD-40. Trust me and try it, it has a catalyst in it that seems to dissolve oxidation which is probably what you're dealing with.

Take your time and don't go mental at it, and it should be ok. Don't do what a mate of mine did to his suzuki drz, and cut the swingarm off to release the bolt
