the engine pressure is stopping you from loosening the bolts ! take a 2 ton floor jack and a piece of 2x4 and jack up under the engine, but not the oil pan or you could dent it , and then take a breaker bar to loosen the bolts ! after the bolts get loosened you can use a ratchet on them !

Before removing the trans mount you first must release pressure off of the trans buy jacking up engine with a floor jack, but be sure not to jack engine up by the oil pan!!! Then remove bolts, which can be done using a breaker bar. They are hard to get loose, but only for your protection so the mount bolts don't come loose while driving...Good Luck

you can pull the bolts out as it sits but the weight has to be supported that the mount carries. a simple jack will do as long as you are picky on the location. advice, avoid the pan.
