Since my mount was totally destroyed on both cars what I did for 
removal was:

a.  Place a 17MM crows foot on the top mount nut so that it 'wedges' in
    the top part of the bracket that the mount mates to.

b.  Remove the bottom half of the mount (assuming it does not fall on
you).

c.  Use a large pair of vice grips to turn the remains of the mount.
