front engine mount 850 1994

Last night i tried to change the front engine mount on my 850, which by the bay 13 instructions seemed a fairly easy task. I was able to loosen the two 14mm bolts that fasten to the engine block, but I couldn't budge the two 17mm bolts fastened to the subframe. Tried soaking them in wd40, to no avail. The space is just so tight i can't really get good torque on a wrench in there. Any suggestions?

    I tried to do the same thing too today while I was doing the front strut replacement. The 2 14mm bolts were very easy to unscrew with a 1/2" socket and ratchet. However, the 2 17mm bolts were so tight and there wasn't enough room to uses a socket and 1/2" wrench to lose them. I tried the 17mm box end wrench but no luck. The bolts were so tight!!! I need to email Charles in Bay13 to see how he did it.
