Your best bet will probably be to take the tire off and access it from the fenderwell. You should be able to access the bolts/nuts that hold the manifold on. I'd suggest using a universal to access them. You'll also have to remove the 2 bolts/nuts that connect the manifold to the catalytic converter. As far as the 4wd goes, I don't think there should be much in the way but I could be wrong. I hope that helps.

Thank You. I did all of that previously and i cannot access the 2 front bottom studs. I soaked the motor mount bolt for 3 days now and i'm gonna apply heat to loosen it. It shouldn't be that difficult to unbolt according to all the online info i read but this one is way out of the line. I've spent weeks just to get it out BUT no luck.

Thanks for the help. Cheers

Can you take a pic of the 2 bolts you can't get out?

motor bolt and 2 bottom front studs cannot be reached rusted out. The best way is to take off the bolt and raise the engine up BUT that's my dilemma. Thanks

I wouldn't worry about the motor mount bolt. If you can start it up, let it get to operating temp and then try to get the bolts out. If not, then an impact wrench will get them out. I'd be careful with an impact though since it could break the bolt off. It maybe hard to get to them but you should be able to access them through the side of the fenderwell. I don't have any other advice to offer. Good luck!

BTW, the reason why Dropbox doesn't work randomly, is because it has a daily download limit.
