I tried it the first time snaking it through the mount brackets. It sucked and I mangled the line but it worked. Unfortunately I crimped the line as I was hooking up the hose. For my second attempt, I hoisted the motor about 2 " and undid both mount brackets (have to remove one of the lower control arm nuts) and it was easy as pie. Bob S.

That's all needed to hear. If you could do it, so can I. Those stainless tubes are pretty darn hard though... /Niklas ........................................................................ . It is a PITA but yes it can be done. If you have a hoist that is definitely the way to go. I used 4 HD jack stands, lifted the car off the ground as high as it would go and removed the wheels. That helped quite a bit but it was still not a fun job. I bent my own brake and fuel lines too while laying on my back so you can imagine the joy in that..lol ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submissions to Firebird-L: <[email protected]> Unsubscribe from Firebird-L: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Help: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/firebird/Firebird-L.html> Classifieds: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/ubb/> Owner Pictures: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/show/> Donations: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/store/cart.mv?999999> FGF Merchandise: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/store> **************Play online games for FREE at Games.com!
