motor mount bolt won't budge
I'm in the middle of changing my motor mounts, but I'm stuck at the right rear 13mm bolt. The mounts that are in there are the ones without a nut, so I have to turn the bolt itself, but I can't figure out a way to get enough torque on it. I can't get to it from the top as I did with the other bolt on the right side. I'm using a 13mm wrench. A 13mm ratchet won't fit. I can't budge it with my bare hands, and I can't figure out a way to get any sort of lever against it. Right now it's soaking in PB until I try again tomorrow. Any ideas? Thanks!

Can't get to the right rear bolt from above. I got the other right side bolt with a long extension and a u-joint socket. As for from the bottom, there's no room to swing anything, but there's nothing to pry against. I'm hoping the PB blaster works overnight. I also might buy a swivel head wrench. Or I may end up drilling it.
