Oh, they press together nicely when you reassemble by simply tightening the bolt.

If you need extra bolts, take them out of another truck.

Mounts and the hardware are super cheap at the junkyard. 2wds use the same mounts/hardware and seem to generally be in better shape.

After 10 yrs my vice grips still work great; it pays to buy the good ****.

3 of mine came out fairly easy, one was a real ********er and had to beat hell out of it with a hammer. The 2 cones mushroom together and can be stubborn to unlock

Are you talking about the mounts or the vicegrips?

I threaded the bolt though the top of the radiator support mount on my truck and beat it with a hammer and the nut on the bottom broke away from the washer.
