<VV> trans mount replacement

[Frank DuVal]

Two ideas, used both.

Use a crowsfoot style socket to hold the heads on the side you cannot see.

Go to Harbor Freight or another cheap tool place to get combination 
wrenches and cut them to the length needed.

I haven't had to cut a hole in the floor yet.

Last resort, grind the heads off the side you can see......

>I'm new to VV, and could use some info on replacing my 64's trans to rear cross member mounts.  Picked up a set at Ventura so got to get busy!  All research I've done seems to assume removal of the crossmember--and all that involves. Problem is,  the bracket bolt heads aren't tack-welded in place, and the 2 front ones can't be held to remove the nuts from the bottom.  I know I'm not talking about an unfamiliar problem -- so anyone have a tip how this could be done without dropping the whole crossmember??  I've even debated cutting a hole thru the floor pan over the bolt heads--but rather not do that.  Maybe loosen the bolts holding up the crossmember a little to get clearance??
