Andy, are you referring to the 3 long bolts that attach rear mount to subframe? These (As you know) are long threaded skinny bolts, with small head (I think 10 mm?) . I have had to remove these 2 x on a '00 Sedan, once for power steering lines replacement, and the second time for the hard lines on the steering rack itself. The first time I did it, I actually broke the front one in half!@# Stud is still there, was never able to get it out, despite hours of trying, with many different tools. Never had a problem with that stud sitting there, since the other 2 provide sufficient fastening, and the broken one provides stability. I doubt there is any galvanic corrosion, since they merely slide through the mount itself. 1/2 inch drive with extensions from top back of motor gives you the best angle and opportunity for torque. Why are you even doing this? I have several 9-5s currently, and have owned more than 10, and I have never replaced a back motor mount. Oh and when I did get the 2 out the first time, anti seize made the second attempt a breeze 3 years later!
good luck, and regards, Tom S.
