Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Motor Mounts

[BMote]

motor sitting down on cross member. Passenger side motor mount bottomed out. Tried for an hour to loosen engine side motor mount bolts. 2 ft pipe on breaker bar and still no break. Afraid to snap off, then it's a whole new game. Center bushing well worn, but I just installed new bolt and good enough for now. Any suggestions how to loosen these bolts. Are they installed with some gorilla type threadlocker, or what?:-{}

I have found with some locktight that you actually have to turn the bolt slightly toward the tighten direction in order to break it free. Then the bolt comes out easy. I had this same problem back in 2001 on a 6BT5. 9M2 Cummins Diesel. In the end it just took us using a whole lot of WD40 and strong arming it.
