Broken motor mount. 09 D8. tips?

[winter4ever]

I have a broken motor mount, its the front one on the clutch side. I am trying
to fix it with out having to take the engine out. I took the little cover off on the bulkhead where the tie rod goes through, and I can kind of get some pliers on the head. Should it come out towards the bottom, or do you thread it back up? I cant get it to start anyways, I got it hot with my little butane torch, not sure if it gets it hot enough to break the lock tight though. I was riding with a guy with the same sled who said that he has done it this way before. Any tips? thanks in advance.

Well got it out, buddy brought over a pair of vice grips he bent with a torch, worked it out in about 30 minutes. Dealer wanted $300 to do the job, so score!

good to hear you got it out! I just replaced an engine strap on my 09 600 without removing the engine
