I have one bolt left to split my case apart on my 03 sportsman 700. There is a rubber mount in my way I can't get a wrench on it it's too tight a fit. Only thing with some force I can get on is a 1/4 in socket with extension. I am afraid I am going to snap the wrench the bolt is on so tight. I can't get anything else on it. I am sure you ran across this how do you pros do it?

Number 31 the rubber mounting. The rubber will not knock off and it is a stud into engine compartment.
There is one bolt right underneath that. you can't get a wrench on it. A socket will fit but no room for anything else. I can get a 1/4 in socket and extension about 9/10 the way on if i pry it to compress the rubber. But I need something with a little more beef to crack the bolt loose. Or should I just risk breaking the 1/4 setup.

Just take a big old pair of channel locks and grab the engine mount on the metal part close to the engine and remove it. It's not a solid mount.Each stud end is molded into the rubber.

Put a huge set of channel locks on her. Got her to start spinning and then snap there goes the stud...

Now you get to drill out the old stud. If you don't have a set of these,I'd get a cheap set. http://www.ebay.com/itm/15pcs-Screw-Nut-Extractor-Set-sk-1037B-BOLT-REMOVER-/181660902688?hash=item2a4bd56520&item=181660902688&vxp=mtr Plus these are great if you have enough of the stud to pull. Should be able to get them at Harbor Freight,Northern or a good auto store.http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-PC-STUD-PULLER-REMOVER-WRENCH-SAE-SIZES-SOCKETS-/290598205316?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43a900b784 Both have come in handy for me over the years.
