The best job of all was the rear engine mount... even with the engine out it was a pig to remove. I had to drop the sub frame, steering rack, and bend a 17mm opened spanner to get the angle right to undo the nuts. Don’t know how people do it with the engine still it

After 5 days of banning your head trying to figure out an easier way, an then u drop everything listed above jack the rear of the engine up to give Clarence for 2 extension joint, a uni joint a ratchet to make its way down the back between the firewall an block, and then removing the exhaust for ppl with after market!!
