how to get to right engine mount?

[Peter Golledge]

Konstantin,

I found a 17mm "crows foot" will sit on the nut and wedge
nicely while you turn the remains of the mount with a large
pair of slip joint pliers.  Some kroil or similar on the
threads is a good idea as the nut has been pretty well cooked.
