    M20 motor mount removal?

    Car: '85 325e

    Problem: Trying to replace the motor mounts but I just can't get to the top bolts.

    Here's what I'm doing and please tell me if there is an easier way: I loosen the lower mount nuts then get out from underneath the car and try to get the top nuts from above but I'm struggling to fit a wrench in there and get the leverage to loosen them. Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    Use a ratchet. If you use a 17mm socket on a ratchet, they should be very easy to get to from below and possible to get to from above. You won't get a wrench in there.

      long ass extension with universal from the top(on drivers side) And just a ratchet and socket for the pass side.
