Hey gang,
Lookin' for a "how-to", tutorial or just some veterans advice on installing new motor mounts on my '74 2.0. It appears to be fairly straight forward but never having done it before I know there are always "catches" and thing s to look for. Any advice before I get into this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, LN |

I think the top nut is 10mm. The hole in the bracket is square, there's a square protrusion that fits into it and keeps the mount from turning when you tighten up the bottom nut.
I remember using the shortest ratchet handle I had, and only being able o get a couple of "clicks" at a time out of it. I also think I removed the oil filter so I could reach my arm in from that side into the area where the top nut of the mount lives. --DD |
