Body mounts & lockable valve stem caps?

I've been trying to track down a creak when I go around corners. I thought it was coming form the front suspension, but it occured to me that a body mount is right where it sounds it is coming from. So I crawl under there and it it loose. I take a ratchet and try and tighten it. It only goes about 10 degrees. I try and loosen it - it only goes 10 degrees. GRRRR! Damn thing must be stripped. How do I get it off and how do I repair it and put a new one in? I might have another bad one in back on that side.

I was looking in the JC Whiney catolog and saw those neat chrome valve stem caps like I have. Two of them were sotlen last week I look in there and the have "lockable" ones. ??? Looks like you use a little special nut turner thing to get them on and off. Anyone have any experience with them?

I was thinking about getting an air horn or one of the horns that play dixie. You guys have any? I want a little "accessory" horn on there for those special occasions.
