Be very very careful when installing the bolt from the bottom up into the engine mount arm. You DO NOT want to cross thread this. Have a prybar handy so you can pry against the frame rail to move the engine slight amounts. Of course you know to jack it up via a 2x4 on the oil pan. It will hold up just fine.....
LOL ... well, I tell my friends, my real motivation to stay trim isn't so much health or looks as it is the ability to fit conveniently under a Mercedes sedan. I'll take caution with the bolt. I'm looking forward to getting back under a REAL car after brake-line wrangling on my dad's 99 GMC Safari (still not done.)
