Question front upper shock mount removal help

Anybody have any idea how to get the upper shock mounts off of the frame? The front clip is off so I have alot of access. The motor should be coming off soon so more access.

Thanks in advance for the help,
Jay

If you really don't care about reuseing the mount just blow it off with a "Oxy Acetylene Torch" if you know how to use one, and learn how if you don't know. A torch is a real time saver.

Grab it with vise-grips & the frame will keep it from turning.
