So decided to put my ES motor mount inserts in today, went last week and bought a bunch of new tools for the job (1/2" torque wrench, 1/2 sockets, breaker bar, etc) And I start the install today. Well get the front MM bolt out and the 2 subframe bolts out NP. Then I realize it looks like the lower tie bar rests directly on the subframe brace. So I have no sockets close to big enough to fit the LTB bolts. Go to Sears, buy more tools. Cant even move the LTB bolts. My buddy put that on at his shop andused an impact gun to tighten the bolts, I could not get them to budge at all. So needless to say I'm pissed caused I have to reinstall the front stuff and get nothing done today
My FSB/RSB come in tomorrow but def. not installing those till the MM are in. Sigh. Also had a problem getting my car jacked up very high. Got a good 2.5 ton crafstman trolley jack and tried jacking up the front center pint and putting jackstabds on both sides but it would barely get high enough to get the jackstands on the 1st notch. Wondering if maybe I should jack up the sides individually to get it higher. Oh well gonna have to go back to my buddies shop and get him to remove the LTb and sintall the mounts. Really wanted to do this myself
