Hello everyone. I decided to tackle the engine mounts on Hildegard. It took a bit of persuasion to get the passenger’s side lower bolt loose, but after a little “rattle wrench” action and some more ratcheting, it broke loose! Then, I was able to jack up the engine and remove the heat shields with no problem. The cursing began with the upper bolts. I got both driver’s side bolts out with the mount, but the engine side bolt was quite fiddly. I was able to get it out little by little with a wobble extension. I couldn’t find the 3/8“ drive u-joint extension that my dad used, but I have one on the way in order to make the passenger’s side MUCH easier. When I get ready to button it up tomorrow, is there a proper way for the heat shields to go in? There didn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to how they were positioned other than not having the taller side toward the engine. The rear mount behind the oil pan that mounts to the cross member was oil soaked, so I have to order another one.
