So, didn't even make it to removing all the bolts before running into an issue. One of the engine studs backed out with the nut on it. Several questions:
1) PB blasted the nut to try and remove it from the stud, but short of holding it in the non-threaded portion in the middle, how do i get it off without damaging the threads? fixed.
2) Even with all the nuts off and lower bolts out, the oem motor mount won't budge (bottom of engine is supported on passenger side with jack and piece of wood in between). The studs appear to be resting on the mount but can't really tell.
3) If i'm able to get the aforementioned stud back in, how far do I run it down and what's the torque spec?
See pics for reference.
