Mostly to avoid doing tougher jobs I decided to pull off the air filter box to clean up my leaking PS tank. Looking around that side of the engine I was surprised to see that one of the engine mount boltheads was sheared off leaving the threaded part in the block. I unbolted the other three bolts and figured I could find a way to grab onto the bit sticking out of the block. I putzed around a bit not wanting to bugger up my main hope of getting the stud out of the block. I came back to it and wiped off the area getting ready to heat it. I happened to try unscrewing it with my fingers and the damn thing came right out. PHEW!!
I deserved a break!
Check your engine mount bolts.
cheers,
