Trying to replace body mounts.
Hi I'm trying to replace my body mounts on 72 C20. I started on the passenger rear and the nut came off easily enough. Then I realized that I can't really jack the cab up enough to get the top spacer to come out. So then I took off the nut to the passenger side front cab mount and that came right off but now I cant get the bolt to come out. I can spin the whole bolt from the top and I noticed that the bushing is spinning with it. I'm thinking that the bushing is rusted to the bolt and is not letting it come out? I've been pounding on the bottom of the bolt trying to get it to come out but its not doing anything? Any ideas? I was thinking possibly trying to cut the top rubber mount off and getting it off then try heating it up. My plan was to take off both from the passenger side then i was hoping I would have enough room to jack the side up and have enough room for the rear one. I'm also wondering if I have to take my whole radiator out to change the core support mounts or maybe I can take the mounts off and try to move it enough for the carriage bolt and square washer to clear.
