Solid body mounts

I’m installing TRZ solid body mounts in a ‘71 Cutlass. Having some trouble figuring out how to remove positions 4&5 mounts. They appear to not have any bolts, however I can’t get the body to lift off them. All the others been straightforward.

any ideas/suggestions?

Position 4 should have bolts, at least mine did. I used the same solid bushings in my car as well.

From what I can tell, I will need to slightly enlargen the hole in the frame for #1 mount.

I’ll look again, but I swear I didn’t see any bolts in 4 or 5. #3 is the mount with the larger inner hole.

I really thought it’d be pretty straightforward. But, struggle bus starting making its round haha.

Yes, you will need to open up the hole for the 1 position. You will also need to clearance the bushing half that's inside the frame where it is lap welded for the bushing to sit flush..you will also need to clearance the 6 position in this manner.

The underside of mentioned mounts that are throwing me for a loop:

#4

#5


I did quite a few upgrades to try and get down the track straight:
TRZ Rear Anti-Roll Bar
TRZ adjustable upper and lower rear control arms
poly transmission mount
solid motor mounts
TRZ solid body bushings
