Do you mean the bolt that holds the mount on? I had a little trouble,
but some PB Blaster and a breaker bar took care of that.
I guess I'll stop by the dealer tomorrow for the o-rings.

On the '88 MJ, there is not enough clearance between to bolt and frame to
get a socket on the head of the bolt (AIR, 17mm or some such). I could
probably have used the socket if I jacked the engine a little as I also
need to replace the motor mounts but the box end wrench with a cheater
worked (with lots of grunting). No way PB Blaster is going to get to those
threads in the block <g>. The 91 XJ had a good bit more room - and a Torx
bolt. Fortunately, it gave up easier.
