Just remember, if you remove the hydramount with a chisel, you run the risk of having the captive nut break off in the chassis leg. Rare but possible

Then its a whole heap of bad news....

This is the reason i suggested the tool library didn,t get any real interest except for the negative side of it.

Might be worth checking just how tight your hydramount is - on my car it had loosened off and could be tightened by hand.

I hadn't thought of that cheers. But I was thinking of the rubber bush thingy rather than the actual mount bracket itself.
Will definitely check the bolts though

Yep not the bolts but the hydramount itself.

Removed everything above it to get to the water pump and found the mount had loosened right off.
