Can anyone tell me if the front body mount bushing can be replaced without removing the radiator ? thanks, pocojo

I really understand that. After many new blades and much time, it just won't cut thru. That's why I was trying to remove the rubber first to get a clear shot at the sleeve and bolt. It's almost like the blade is not making an effective cut because it is pinched tight between the rubber and the...

No the bolt is still in there and the upper end of the bolt is threaded into a remaining piece of rusted steel about the size of a quarter and the bolt/bushing assembly rotates around. The body has not yet been lifted. My goal is to somehow grind/cut away that (rust nut) and upper portion of the...

Okay, tomorrow I ll try to bang the 90 deg claw end of a Wonderbar pry bar in and see what happens. I am getting too old for this aggravation but really appreciate your help. Thanks, Pocojo

Yes that's the problem, so I thought if I could cut the rubber away I could get the saw blade in there to cut the bolt and sleeve away. Every time I tried to use the pry bar the rubber just revolves away. Thanks for your reply.

Hello to all who replied, TJ4Jim helped me out greatly, I was not aware of the seat tumbling feature. You tube showed me the procedure and it worked fine, all is good now. Thank you all much for helping out the old timer. Pocojo

That's a great photo, thanks. Maybe I m missing something about the " properly tumbling "., the seat back will lean forward but never enough to expose the fasteners like in your photo. I m 77 and not as well versed as you guys on the forum. Is there something more than leaning the seat back...

That's the problem, I m trying to remove the seat to do some frame rust repair and while welding so I won't set the carpet on fire

I have no wi fi on this mountain for a phone pic but will get a pic from my camera tomorrow to clarify the situation

Yes I did that and can see the tops of the bolts but part of the seat frame is right over the bolt with only 1/4" clearance between bolt head and frame. No way to get a tool in that space. Thanks for your reply
