Mount bar bolts

My engine mount bar bolts are siezed in the mount bar. I cut the bolts flush with the bar. I've soaked them with PB Blaster and have pounded the crap out of them and I can't get them out. Any ideas?

you might have to drill 'em out....I have an extra bar, but the shipping might be pricey on an item like that.

Anything I should use besides just your average drill bit- I've tried that. Actually shipping may not be too bad- I'm in Reno, NV. What would you want for the bar?

how about $5 plus shipping ??
(I use UPS, it's a couple bucks cheaper if I ship to a business as well)

Sounds like a good deal. Shoot me an email and we can work it all out.

We've seen a pic on this BBS of someone (Jason, was it you?) who used a ~3' piece of 2x4 going down through the engine bay onto the motor mount bar, and a sledgehammer on the other end of the 2x4. That finally convinced the bolts to let go of the bar....

This sounds like a good idea. Although it would be even better if the engine were still in the car. I removed the nuts on top of the mount bar bolts and lowered it.
