Passenger Cv axle/ rear motor mount trouble?

[Yaserk88]

Hey My passenger side axle is stuck in the rear engine mount bracket. I have taken the four bolts on the bracket and the nut on top of the motor mount. The only problem is that the motor mount is not coming out. I have even taken out the nuts at the bottom of the mount on the chasis, but the bolts going through the chasis will not allow me to free the mount and bracket. I think the bracket is stuck to the top of the mount where the single nut goes. Anyone have an ideas besides alot of PB blaster?

is this for a 4cyl camry??

i managed to take my axle out with the rear engine mount, rear engine mount bracket attached.
here is what i did,

i took off the dogbone, loose bolt on front engine mount, loose bolts on radiator, and disconnect a few ground wires. then put a 2x4 stud at engine oil pan, jack up the engine by oil pan, just jack up slowly and watch stretch on all hoses and wires


the top bolt at rear engine mount has little room to put wrench there, that is why i took the whole thing out.

yeah thats pretty much the only way to do it. when i replaced mine, i loosened the rear mount bottom bolts too to give me extra wiggle room while raising and lowering the engine to wiggle the damn thing out. what a pain in the ass. after all that, i still had to use an 8 pound sledge to beat the axle from the carrier housing.

I will give it a try and let you guys know how it goes. Thanks.
