I can not remove the passenger side strut bracket.

I removed the top bolt and backed out three other bolts, tthree on the ac compressor. Do I need to remove the radiaror? I have removed the cooling fans.

I have un-bolted the ac compressor. There is little movement of the bracket. Do I whack to with a hammer? All bolrs are removed, and it still won't move.

Your answer was for the wrong strut. I am replacing my head gasket and I am having trouble removing the bracket on the engine, passenager side, that supports the engine to the frame. I have un-bolted the AC compressor and removed the two other bolts, but it will not come off. Do I have to just force it off, or are there other bolts that i missed?

Sorry, was thinking suspension. Before you can remove the right engine mount strut bracket you have to first remove the upper and lower intake manifolds. Have you removed these yet?
