Well you are making progress in the right direction, Make sure to keep us updated. I find myself using the cut off wheel once in a while it's a wonderful tool.

Done. I have replaced the motor mounts. The 7'' grinder was just the tool i needed. I cut the bolt in half and both sides off, grinded the ends smooth. Then i hammered in the ends of the bolt into the bushing and the A-arm fell right out. I had a friend come over to run the socket wrench on top and i held wrench on bottom. Less than 5 mins the stock mounts were out and the new soild ones were in place. My next step is to replace the bushings.

In the old days in the backyard it would have taken a few days just to cut through the bolts with a hacksaw. Those are hard bolts, so many hacksaw blades and a grinder if lucky. If you were really tooled up maybe a torch. None of my buds had anything.

Yea i remeber when all i had was a hacksaw and a drill to do all my metal work. Back then i was just working on bicycles, so it was not to bad. Then i got my first grinder and a door opened full of ideas came out.
