Stripped motor mount nut (not bolt) 2005 LJ 4.0

[Jason370]

Replacing motor mounts and the passenger side bottom nut stripped. I was able to get the mm bracket out to make some room but the mount itself is still attached to the frame perch with the bottom nut attached to the mm stud. Any ideas on how to get this thing off?

I have the new mounts (brown dog) so I'm happy to destroy these. I just don't know how to get them off.

Cut it off with a torch and get another motor mount.

Can you please elaborate a bit more. I'm happy to do whatever it takes but I don't actually understand how to cut it with a torch.

What tools do you have?

Nut splitter would work too.

Grinder maybe but it'll be a pain.

Impact gun might knock it loose.

If I'm even understanding what the issue is...

The nut on this stud is stripped.

It is in a tough spot to access. I might try a nut extracter.

Dremel with

metal cutting blade got it done. Took a few minutes but it eventually got through
