I have some serious motor mount issues so i finally got some, but when i went to instal them this weekend i can't get to the top mounting bolt. The turbo piping is less than an inch away so i can't even get my finger up there. Is there another way of doing this or do you just really have to dismantle half the engine to do this job. any ideas or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
thanks guys

 

Which mounts are you replacing? The snub mountor the 2 block mounts? Imassuming you are doing the block mounts I don't recall those being to difficult to get at with normal tools. through the wheel well with the wheels removed. If its the snub I would put the car in 'service mode' to ease installation even though it takes a while to do.

 

ya i mean the left and right block mounts, and i'm fairly familiar with cars so i felt really stupid when i had such a hard time. You mentioned it shouldn'e be that hard, but i literally can't even get my finger on the top nuts that bolt the mount to the braket that goes to the block, let alone a wrench. any other pointers?
thanks again guys

 

Damn, I had a brain fart. I was thinking of the transmission mounts on my TIP.
BUT... I do have some good news. Here's a AW link to amount swap write-up.
Hope this helps. Sorry for any confusion. Good luck.
