URGENT HELP!!! ENGINE MOUNT NIGHTMARE

[mike]

Hi,

Have got the car in bits outside my dads house trying to do the engine mount below the battery. Have got the battery out no probs, undid the two smaller bolts, again no probs. When undoing the larger central bolt there was a very large "cracking" noise, is this ok? My second problem is actually getting the old mount out - how do I do this as it isn't budging one bit and I can't get anything in there to lever it off. Need to get this done or I'm stuck!!!

Thanks for any swift replies!!

Right, think I've cracked it, took the air box off and gave the mount a whack with a hammer!! The main bolt through the middle seems to just spin though, it hand tightens but no more, was it the threads on this cracking or is this ok (there seems to be two bits to this bolt??). Renault Dartford didn't have one, can I get one from an auto-spares??
