16mm lower motor mount HELP!!

Hey, I am trying to install a supercharger pulley but I am stuck at the lower motor mount removal stage. The bolt spins freely by hand but will not come out there are still three threads showing on the far side. Please help!

THanks

Nick

If it turns freely but won't come out, try seeing if you can move the engine a little bit - you may have some binding or interference. With the lower mount loosened, the engine can "swing" a little bit front-to-rear. Try tugging on the bolt while you wiggle the engine around and it may free up the bolt.

Put at 2x4 on jack and put under oil pan and jack to slight pressure to relieve pressure on bolt. Just did this yesterday.
