At this point you are more then likely going to have to cut the bolts. And since you are replacing the core support you can repair it better/easier when you have the old one off.

alright so apparently ranger body mounts are waaay too complictaed i started by removing the top bolt through the rad support but it turns out the bolt going up from the bottom threads into a steel sleeve that spreads out kinda like a washer on top of the mount. i used a pipe wrech to hold it still and unbolted everything from underneath. also if u dont feel like doing way too much work i cut the bolts flush with the nut so im not undoing an inch of a half of unesaccary thread.
