Need help,I broke off the flex pipe 8mm bolt

I have the rear motor mount bolt out and loosened the front two, but the engine will not budge.
I would like to tilt the motor up so i can drill out the bolt.

Take the long bolt out of the back of the motor that also holds the front exchanger in place?

Long bolt is removed still the motor will not budge. Is there bushings in there that could have slid so they are binding?

You have to loosen the motor mount tensioner. Look into the hole next to the chaincase where you removed the rear motor mount bolt. You will see a threaded tensioner that needs to be loosened before the motor will budge. I use the handle of my 3/8" ratchet to loosen. A large flat head screw driver might also work.

Thanks. I did figure out that the tensioner was binding, i backed it out a turn and the motor moved easily. I ended up breaking two manifold bolts off. I welded nuts on to the broken bolts and luckily they came out.
