First I would like to thank McMark for the great article which has enabled everyone else in the club do this in 3 hours. Somehow in my overzealous excitement I must have missed the part that said.....
"No matter what you do or how hard you try, Jerry, you will never....ever get the rear transmission mount bolts out because some sadist has welded what appears to be a crazy metal heat shield over top of the muffler and within 1 inch of the head of the bolt to make double sure that you will have no chance in hell of accessing the otherwise inaccessable head of the bolt....and turning the the nut will of course just make it all just spin and spin and spin." (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) Ok...venting done. So what would you guys do? Impact wrench.....a one inch long vice grips....sawzall? Anyone? The mounts are toast already anyway. |

or just undo the big nut, its a 19 mm. put a wrench on the top and use a ratchet to undo the nut.
it takes some wiggling to get the bolt out of the ears due to the angle but it can be done and shot tranny mounts makes it easier. on the porscharu, the motor bar is basicly on the balance point of the tranny/motor, so i just unbolt the mounts, lower the car and the engine bar bolts are on top of the engine bay, i just stand there and crank it down |
