Ok so my first attempt at removing a V6 out of a GT was about a month ago. I got as far as trying to remove the rear cradle bolts when the head of the bolts decided to round off. Does anyone have a good detailed description of how to get the bolts out. I'm sure they are pretty rusted in place.

If you round off the bolt heads then using a 12 pointed socket that is one size to small might work. Hammer it on and go for it. I use this method to get security locking lug nuts off cars in the wrecking yard.
If that fails a cut off wheel or hack saw is the best solution. The bolts are a fairly common size and easy to replace. If you can't get the blade in between the bushing and the frame rail then you may need to cut out the entire lower section of the frame rail and weld it back in later.

Sorry to have been away so long people. I have been dealing with other issues in my life. I still have the write-up in Word and PDF format so if anyone wants a copy just sing out with an email and I promise to send a copy.
Merry Christmas to all and may 2010 be a hell of a lot better than 2009
