Everytime i take the engine/box out this mount prooves to be a pita.

Whats the best way to get the mount back in and bolted up?

cheers :lol:

i think it pretty much is a PITA anyway.

some people slot the mounting holes in the mount.from memory i think mine were already done when i got it. makes it way easier but make sure you do it up nice and tight.

there is little things you can do to make the process easier,for the crossmember , I punched out the original pressed bolt, slotted one of the bolt holes in the crossmember and had a nut welded on the back to replace the stock nut+bolt arrangement. makes it a shedload easier as you can slide the crossmember in or out instead od lifting it up and out.

i had an even harder time as id had the mounted remoulded in urethane and some of them were ever so slightly out.

i just knock out the pita stud and use a bolt and nut.
easy.

yep but it is a right bastard to get a spanner/socket to the top of it if it doesnt come loose from the bottom only. welded nut = no fiddling around blind

nah its easy to get at
as long as you have more than a $40 supercheap socket set

when i used to do it leaving the subframe on, i knocked the little rubber bit on top of the mount off, which seemed to help me remove fit easier. didn't really hit the steering rack that way, and allows to move the mount higher.

still a pita though

i've always lowered the subframe, like take the bolts 3/4 of the way out so its hanging on them

with a bit of fiddling you can get enough room to slip it out

thanks guys
hammered out the studs and welded nuts in there.
What a huge difference, would fully recommend anyone to do this. took about 2 mins to have the mount in place and all bolted up!
respect.
