diff mount question
ok me and my bud erik are workin on his second gen rx7, he snapped his diff mount. after loosening the axle and starting to take the screws out we ran into some problems.... we have gotten 3 of the 5 bolts off one that is the furthest to the front of the car at the bottom of the mount is WAAAYY to close to the metal bracket. we cannot get the circle side of the wrench around it or a socket wrench. the only thing we can use is the crappy side of the wrench which is slipping like crazy and i really do not want to strip that bolt cause god knows what ill do. is this normal or did that mount break to where i absolutely cannot get that off? as for the other bolt its just to ******* hard to get off only having 1 and a 1/2 foot to work with but anyway any info on how to get that ************ of a bolt off would be great. thanks in advance from both me and erik

u have to drop the subframe like 6 inches to get that bolt off. Just take off the 2 bolts on the front part of the subframe, 2 rear differential mount bolts, and the 1 bolt hanging down from the bar( right by the diff). Support it with a jack and lower it down. U will probably have to use a big screw driver to pry the mounts loose, atleast i did.
