For those who followed and/or contributed to my question regarding the vertical studs in the intermediate cast bracket between the upper right side motor mount and the head being in the way of removing one of the bolts holding that bracket on. I was only able to get to working on it this week.
The solution was staring me in the face. The studs stand more than an inch above the installed nut for the motor mount. Nothing a cut-off wheel couldn't handle and with 1/2 inch removed from the stud I could get a proper 1/2 inch drive socket on the bolt head and crack it loose with a breaker bar--no need for any unobtainable 6 point offset wrench. Now I can properly mourn the loss of my broken S-K 13mm 6 point combo wrench :-( -- Dave
