Is replacing the engine mount bar difficult or are there any hidden pitfalls? I have a bus bar on mine and the engine/ tranny is not quite lined up perfectly.
Thanks, Konrad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

pretty simple. back of car in the air, support the front of the engine, remove the 2 inboard fasteners (on the middle bottom of the bar), liberally spray the outboard fasteners with a GOOD penetrant, and take them off. replace the bar with the one for the correct application.

Thanks for the advice! should I support the front of the engine or the whole thing? Where should I put the jack? Sorry for all the dumb questions, I just want to keep from ending up squished, or worse yet, screwing something up.
THanks again, Konrad |
