What is your question?
Well, i was trying to get the motor mount, out of the car but i used my offroad jack to jack up the lower oil pan and ending up cracking it, and did not use a support and now since i unbolted the motor mount on the passenger side the bolt will not come out and is stuck what should i do?
How long has your 1999 Ford Escort had this problem?
A couple days

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! It sounds like you're in a bit of a jam with that motor mount bolt. When a bolt gets stuck like that, it’s usually because it’s under some kind of tension or the threads are cross-threaded. Since you’ve got the engine jacked up, try to gently adjust the height—up or down—while applying some penetrating oil to the bolt. This might relieve the pressure and allow you to wiggle it free. If that doesn't do the trick, you might need to use a breaker bar or impact wrench to coax it out, but be careful not to damage the threads. If you need any further advice or if you'd like any help finding a trusted RepairPal shop in your area, please feel free to call us at 877-913-1554!
