So I'm out here under the truck replacing motor mounts, and of course the last bolt gives me trouble. I ended up breaking this mount to trans bolt, Ford Screw 388824 in the diagram below.
Here's an image of mine now.
Someone in the past broke the other one off, because it was already drilled for a through bolt, and I'd like to do that now. Problem is I can't see how to get a drill bit to it without either removing the cross member or drilling an access hole thru the cross member. Can anyone say whether that is a good or terrible idea?
Worst case I'll bolt down the one side and limp it to a trans shop.
The crossmember isn't that hard to pull out. The eight bolts on the bottom, and then just use a prybar and a deadblow hammer to knock it backwards a few inches.
