the screws that screw the engine mounts to the chassis wont come free at all iv got my dads good tools out and nothing how can i loosen the screws ? bang them oil em up , sumone said sumthing a while back about a glue theats used to hold the screws in ?????:\:(
 
The glue is called threadlocker & it comes in different strength's...
The screw's holding the engine in place should not be that hard to break loose.
My guess is your not useing the proper size tool
Screw's could be stripped from many failed attempts with the tool
I would say keep trying I have never had an issue getting any screw's loose on my 4 Rig's so you gotta be doing something NOT right
 
You can use a soldering iron to heat up the bolt & this will brake the loctite's hold on the bolt, and it should come out without a hassle.
 
you need to use the correct size! The Metric size may seem like it works, but its really a standard size, which is a tad bigger, it will work fine for loose bolts but for loctighted screws it will round the tip off that hex wrench in a heart beat! If it seems like it fits, make sure there is no play in the sides of the hexes, any play at all will cause a round end on the hex. (this may be reversed,not sure)
