If that does not work, try a heat gun on the mount, being careful to get it to hot. Heat softens epoxy.

Un-bolt the engine mount. If it does not easily come off the firewall. Get a helper to hold the plane. Heat the base of the aluminium engine mount with a monocoat heat gun while holding the mount with plyers to avoid burning your fingers. These heat guns put out about 400 degree air. Gently pull/twist/rock the mount as the epoxy softens. It will come loose without damaging the firewall.
