CLS6 Rear Motor Mount

So I have a plethora of tools and cannot come up with a decent way to get to these bolts . I've given up . I've been attempting to follow this - https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tl-1999-2003-98/diy-rear-engine-mount-replacement-862700/ , But remember the 6 speed is different . Any help guys ? Been thinking that the CL really is a terrible platform , kinda wanna move to something with more space in the engine bay , and fill that space with a snail . Anyhow , thanks for any feed back guys .

If you can't get it out, I would let a shop do it. Putting it back in is kind of difficult on the CL-S6, as you have to align the through bolt.

The rear mount is a giant pain for sure. It took my 6+ hours the first time I did it. Not worth it imo.

When I did mine, I loosely threaded the through bolt first. Then worked to bolt the mount to the rear beam. Using a pry bar to move the engine so the bolt holes on the beam lined up with the mount.

^^Exactly what I did. I had to get the center bolt through first, then bolt in the mount into the subframe.

Easier from under the car. Take the B pipe off. The 3 times I had mine replaced the shop did it that way.

I ended up using a universal impact attachment , and removed the torque dampener with it . Only took 2-3 hours with help of a friend and pizza in between . Thanks for the help guys .
