    Installing front engine mount

    What is the best way to install the front engine mount without removing the radiator for more clearance?

    Upper 17mm bolt was pretty easy to remove but one at the bottom, I am having hard to time to removing it. No room to work on.

      Do you need to put a jack underneath? I need to replace mine to.

        When I did my motor swap, I just used a wobbly, and a long ass extension, I was able to leave my exhaust manifold on, it took some doing, but I got it.

          just use a gear wrench, you know those ratcheting ones that look like a boxend wrench? I've got a 17 and 19mm one thats awesome.

            That is the trick.

            I did it without removing anything.

            No need to jack it up since the front is not a load bearing mount.

                You need to buy a metric set my friend. CB's love the attention of tools. Get used to it.

                  Thanks for the input!
                  I am going buy 17mm flexible end gear wrench, which is 395mm long.
                  I think that should work.

                          I got my set at Sears. The brand is Gear Wrench lol. But i got a set of two that has about 8 sizes on it.

                          On one wrench, one side has 8/10 other has 12/13. On the larger Gear Wrench, one side had 16/17, the other has 18/19.

                          I paid about 25 bucks + tax for it when it was on sale. I think they're normally 29.99 + tax.

                          But the cool part is, its got 4 sizes on each wrench. 2 per end...you just flip it over to use ie: either 10 or 12, and the ratcheting mechanism is reversable.

                          Its WELL worth the money. I've used it many times for that front mount alone. And for numerous other things that need tight clearance.

                            17mm gear wrench arrived today..
                            and it took me 5 min to change the front engine mount.
                            With right tool, itt was really easy.

                            Top nut is removeable after taking out the bolt.
                            Bottom nut weld on to the frame.
                            You don't even have to hold the nut while loosing the bolt.
