which part of the mount, the actual rubber? Just tap it round with a hammer and chisel to remove it and slot a new one back in its place.

Hammer a slightly smaller socket onto the nut, undo and prise the socket off the nut, it's easier if you have a vice.

I've never had a nut these can't remove.

Even very stubborn locking wheel bolts.

buy a slightly smaller socket from halfords (it has to be here :( )

hammer it on and it will come off

the reason it has to be halfords is that thier sockets are all under guarantee (a mobile wheel fitter took my old locking nuts off and told me about this)

if it breaks take it back and get your money back if not you have a socket to use again

is it the mount bolt that goes though into the top mount rubber? If so you could always just angle grind or hacksaw it off and replace the mount. You will need to replace the mount anyways if the bolts are knackered?oops didnt read you first post propery, just grind it off
