81 Aspencade issue

[pinski]

I am onto the stator replacement phase of diagnosing my Aspencade's issues, but cannot seem to get the frame section loose on the left side. All nuts, bolts, and fasteners are removed, yet it is not coming loose on the rear connection point. Any tips, before I start wracking the heck out of it?

One of the guys will be along shortly to advise, but in the mean time did ya try a rubber mallet? I've never romped that game part myself.

The rubber mallet got a good workout before I came here for advice

It helps to break loose all the other engine mounting bolts then with a jack under the engine lift it a bit to loosen the tension on them.
Frame piece should come off with just a bit of rocking it front to rear.

Did you remove the long through-bolt (front engine mount), or just the nut? It tends to hang up on that bolt sometimes. Two nuts at the front, one front engine mount (underneath), one rear engine mount, and two nuts at the rear - it should come off.

WTF? stupid phone. :head bang:

Was supposed to say "I've never removed that part myself."
