rear body mounts

I have replaced all my body mounts on my blazer but the rear ones are an unbelievable PITA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am having a heck of a time lining them up, everywhere but the rear two just basically dropped in...still have all the rest loose and have been yanking the body in the direction it needs to go but no luck. Anyone have this problem??

Jim

PS-I have found out that getting angry and discovering that the trailer hitch is far harder than my head made me come in an ask the question.........the cussing would have made a Hell's Angel blush......Canadian Mist and sprite are helping a little....

Re: rear body mounts

can you lift the body higher and use a longer bolt to shift it into place? or a long screwdriver? if you get the longer bolt through you can tighten it down until it pulls into place.good luck

On Critter's we removed the gas tank and it made it easier.
