Andy,
Forget about trying to remove those screws, they're RIP. I don't remember
having a problem whippin out the motor but it couldn't be that hard as I
think I would remember, especially doing it twice like I did. The motor is
held in place by 1/4 -28 bolts.
Ain't it grand to watch your car disappear? Putting it back together is even
more fun!!!!!!!!
Mike
