Help with these stupid motor mounts!!!

So the engine is out of the car and I want to put new motor mounts. How the hell do you get the old ones off. I am talking about the metal cover over the rubber bushings. I can't seem to get them off. What size it the nut on the under side? I have been trying forever and can't get them off. Please help!!

The nut size thats on the under side of the frame holding the engine mounts down are 14 mm I dont have any standard size sockets so I cant tell you what that is in Standard size.

But if you have removed any bolts connecting the engine to the tranny the engine mont bolts are the same size.

Go to Walmart and buy a set of lifetime warrantied sockets for under $20. Assuming you don't have any.

I have sockets it's just hard to get it to fit in the tight space where I can get my hand. So it is hard to see which one fits or not.

OK, yeah I have a spare engine mount here and it is a 14 and you'll need an extension to get at it.
