Hi Keith,

I've never had trouble. I would just keep working at it. Be sure,
though, that the engine isn't binding (if you already have the front
bolt out). Lube, rotate, punch, repeat.

Anyone ever have a rough time removing the rear engine bolt that slides
through the tranny case, bushings, and onto the frame? This thing is in
there! It spins, and I have the engine supported with no pressure. I
have been popping at it with a punch and have gotten it out about 2
inches, but man, that took over an hour to get it that far. I was
curious about taking some heat to it in case the gunk or mineral
deposits have built up that bad, but I am not sure. Any tips will be
appreciated.
