Pat - where were you when I needed to change my pass. motor mount?  ;-)

Anyway, I was able to replace my pass. motor mount without entirely removing the lower timing cover, so I kept all pulleys on except the crank pulleys (crank to AC and crank to PS) - I just had to carefully pry the edge of the lower timing cover up - I think I removed two of the bolts holding it on.
Remember, bolt hole goes down.

----------------------
I'll fix my car, even if I have to replace every part in it... and since the problem will be the last part I replace, I'll have a brand new car when I'm done!
