Replacing CQ engine mounts insitue

Post by Sparkyjack »

Along with subframe and transmission mounts I want to replace the engine mounts.

The left one is easy, but the right looks like a challenge,
If it even possible to replace the right one without pulling the bag of snakes?

Thanks, Jack

I used a 17mm crows foot, a 3/8" drive to hex adaptor so that I could turn the crows foot with an offset wrench.
Once I got the nut broken free I used a 17mm stubby to turn the nut.
I'm replacing the OEM mounts with Jared's stuff, it looks like I'll be able to hold the nut on top and turn the bolt from the bottom whe I install them.
