Re: front motor mount?

["John Van Vuren" <veedublu@prod.net>]

I was able to do it without touching either start bolt...   but, I was doing
the rear mount too  :)

If you remove the two large bolts that hold the "cup" to the front
crossmember, and then loosen/remove the rear motor mount, you can tilt the
engine far enough forward to lower the front mount enough to replace it.
