Hey guys I need some advice. My engine bar is bent backwards towards the rear of the car. The bar itself looks fine, but the two bolts are angled about 60 degrees instead of 90. My shift linkage is rubbing but isn't causing any problems.
My question is... Should I use a big pry bar and bent it back to vertical or do I need to drop the bar and do something at the mount area? I don't want to weaken the bolts or the mounts more. Are the mounts rubber and they just need to be re seated? Thanks for any help |

I recently had to remove the engine bar to do some work on the HE's.
Put the rear tires on ramps. Placed the floor jack near the middle of the engine buffered by a piece of 2x6 wood. Jacked until there was pressure on the engine. Then removed the bar. Pretty easy job. Not sure how hard it will be with the bent bolts. You may find engine mount damage as well. |

I will get some better pics tomorrow. I am expecting to have to change engine mounts as well. |
