Hi, I'm new to the site. I just bought a 1998 corolla to beat around. It had alot of issues that I'm tending to and one of the problems I encountered was the replacement of the right front motor mount. The main bolt (11/16) that connects the motor to the mount. After some serious elbow grease to loosen the bolt, I finally got it to budge. Now it keeps spinning and wont come out any further. Is it possible that something is stripped? I jacked the motor up to see if it would come out further with less pressure on the mount but that didn't help. Has anyone ran into this problem?

My second problem is an overheating issue. I flushed the radiator to find that I have no leaks. Also when I turn the heat on it blows cold. I think this problem might be related. I am going to change the thermostat but if that doesn't help...any suggestions?

Thanks

can someone give me the name to the toyota forums where people actually work on cars...and know a thing or two about fixing their own cars...cause apparently this isn't the site.

Im sure if i named the topic ALTEZZA LIGHTS....or HOW COOL IS YOUR COROLLA i would of got some responses....If there is someone out there in this forum that knows the answer to my question i would really appreciate it. Im stuck and I won't get ripped off by a mechanic.

im currently replacing my mounts. that bolt you are talking about has a nut on the other end :)at least it was on mine car. but why dont u just push it out? and if someone could answer if i need to unbolt a crossmember to remove the rear mount?
