I have a 99 Jeep Cherokee Sport changing transmission mount can get the upper bolt to break loose previous owner put blue loctite on the bolt got one of them to come loose I used my impact gun on it no luck. Got the crossmember out just need to get that one bolt out to change the mount
any ideas

Gee oh Dee

Heat?

Your talking about the bolts that hold the mount to the trans or the crossmember to the mount?

The bolt holds the mount to the transmission the other one came off easy with my impact gun. I have a 1/2 breaker on the one maybe if I get a long pole and slide it over my bar maybe it will break loose

Probably the best idea. Though I think this is a steel bolt going into an aluminum casting, so it could be corroded too. If you've got a torch you could heat it a bit. Be careful though.

I dont understand why they used blue locktite on the bolts

I'm guessing because they weren't studs they wanted to make sure those didn't come out. If the bolts worked themselves loose you trans wouldn't be attached to anything. The bottom mounts are studs so if they worked loose at least they'd sit on the stud.

I used a breaker bar on those. Not even that big of one. Good luck getting it out.

Finally got the bolt out used a propane torch and my impact. Whoa hoo
Thanks guys ill use this forum more often. Noe I got to change my u joint on my drive shaft

Having a torch can be amazingly helpful for breaking corrosion. Just gotta be wise with where/how long you use it lol

Gee oh Dee

Small propane torches are quite a bit more forgiving than oxy/acetylene setups.
