New Ex owner, great site, awesome resource...

So I've replaced the sway bar bushings, and the end links and now I'm tackling the Body Mounts. Great directions, unfortunately, I got the bolt out, threaded it back in 1/2" but after tapping, hitting, and pounding the snot out of it, I cant get the bottom rubber to separate from the top, on either the driver or passengers side

. Also, strange, the driver side bolt was 15/16, but the passenger side was 13/16....Any suggestions???

Lubricate and pound? I know it's not easy but there's no other way.

Mine were different driver to passenger side also. I wonder if we are the few out there with original bolts or something...

How many body mount did you guys take loose to pull the ones under the front seats? I took both fronts loose and I could not get the body high enough to remove the top bushings?
