Re: seized motor mount

the bolts probably bent,pull out the breaker bar. BTW make sure you add anti-seize on the threads when you reinstall

Re: seized motor mount

take a tortch heat the block up around the bolt and hope you don't strip the threads out. If it does strip. retap the threads with a sae bolt tap and welcome to the bike world. you have a harley and a gsxr.

Re: seized motor mount

Yeah either the bolt is bent or the hole is cross threaded...both situations will probably need to have you tap the block...or nut and bolt it.

Re: seized motor mount

Try to screw it out with a ratchet. Take your time and lots of WD40. Sometimes even if it isn't thread this will work. If it doesn't, you gotta get the breaker bar out ;-)
