PLEASE HELP, FRONT MOTOR MOUNT !!!

Trying to replace the front motor mount.

Took out the center bolt and the lower bolt and cannot remove the back bolt

engine side ....

So I decided to put everything back the way it was and to take it to a mechanic.

Put the lower bolt back, but the center bolt will not go through the center of

the motor mount because it is misaligned.

I can see from above driver side, that it is badly aligned so that the bolt will not fit through the hole

I have tried jacking up the frame and motor but that does not work

Please help !!!

You should just leave it alone and have it flat bedded to the mechanic and let them fix it since you took it apart already,why put it back together if its already apart since the motor mount is bad it might not be so easy to install it back because it's bad.

I'd like to put it back ....

The bolt did at first go through the hole, but I could not get the threads started.

I'd rather not take it to the shop with the bolt off, just in case they tell me that I messed up the threads....

The part where the threads go in is part of the frame.

But now since it is misaligned the bolt bearly goes through the hole.

I can fit a screw driver all the way through.

I already have 2 bolts in, and can not get the center one.

Any advice please ???
