I have a pretty clean 74 Buick for a more stock show. We are allowed to remove the body from the frame but the original body mounts and bolts must be put back in. I have never done this before. Is it as simple as using the impact to remove and just put the same bolts back in? Wasn’t sure if things were hard to line back up or if the bolts break easily when removing

Some break some dont It's pretty easy to do if they come out nice but yes just break them free with a breaker bar then impact them out sometimes you can drill a hole above them and get some penetrating oil on them that way to

Thank you! Do they go back up there pretty easily when I put the body back on?

He says more stock show and he's pulling the body... if you are asking how to do this with out breaking the bolt then are you just doing it to say your doing so or you actually planning to cheat it the right ways. Just curious because you pulling body and putting it back on doesn't make it harder.
I'd order new body mount bolts tho same size and everything so the ones that are about rusted in half you can replace. And just age the heads of the bolts.
