Subject:      Motor Mount HELP!
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

So, I'm out at AA Transaxle dropping off my core with Daryl and I ask him if he knows why my exhaust has recently begun to knock against the engine carrier.  He says, "Probably a motor mount's worn out."  So, I call up Bus Depot and order a set, which arrived today and I dig into the project after searching the archives on installation.  Someone from 2004 said it's no problem to get at the upper bolts  - PLEASE, how is this possible w/out removing the main pulley/belts/etc?
 
Of course, I dug in and started the project; so the engine's propped, the carrier is off and I've managed to install the outer, passenger-side mount - but the other three...help!  Is there some special snake-like wrench with a 13mm end that could wiggle through the belts or around the splash guards that I need to hunt down at the tool store or what?!
 
Oh...and Daryl: GOOD CALL - the driver's side outer mount crumbled apart as I dropped the carrier.  Bad, because now I can't reverse the process and 'try another day' without successfully replacing at least that driver's outer mount!
 
THANKS,
Todd B91 Orly Weekender 'Gisela'
