Hey guys,
I was wondering if anybody knows how to remove the bolt for the engine mount that attaches the swingarm and the engine to the chasis? I have everything else disconnected, just that last bolt then the engine will come out. Thanks for any advice in advance.

just pound it out untill the bolt is past the engine mount but leave it stuck through the swingarm a little bit, so it stays up.

I forgot which transportation i was talking about there guys. It is a 98 Blaster. The gear cam broke and i am replacing it myself. I have everything else disconnected. Bolts and hoses etc. Thanks for the advice, but is there a better way to get the bolt out. So that i dont ruin the threads pounding on it. thanks for all the advice.

On mine I used a long 3/8 extension to pound the bolt out. It worked just fine.....Herbert

Stang, I'm not really up on Blaster engine mounts, but depending on how much bolt is projecting after nut removal, use a suitable size socket over the end of the bolt to protect the threads & hit the socket to free it up. Hopefully this will free it before the bolt is no longer projecting from the swing arm. If not, you'll have to use a flat end punch to tap it out the rest of the way.
When you reassemble it you might want to use some Never Seize on it for future removal.
