VICTORY IS MINE!! Mike 1: Bearing 0

[smithma7 at gmail.com (Mike Smith)]

Don't know about engine mount tools, but considering that "we" did my
passengerside one without a special tool, I'm inclined to think that
there are none.  I would trust Dan to know about the existence of such
things.  The bearing tool came from Adirondac. $20 rental fee, $200
deposit (which is what the guy said it actually cost, "so if you like
it, just don't return it.") which is refunded when the rool is
returned.

As far as the shorts and shirt:  The mess on the shorts wasn't really
noticable.  The shirt, however, was toast and I left it in the
backseat of the car.  She still hasn't seen it, but she did see one
just like it.  I stopped at Walmart (where the original was purchased)
and bought another that looks exactly like it.  :D  $8 well spent.
