Yeah, the metal frame mount has some wiggle in it as well as the hole where the bolt goes through into the rubber motor mount. You can loosen the frame mount bolts, the motor mount bolt and jack the motor ever so slightly and the metal frame mount will slide forward or back with a hammer convincing it, then that 1/8 or 1/4 inch of forward movement may have cleared it. Either way it is done, sorry for not being around to offer this before? Glad it worked out for ya!!
