-Just did the torque mounts, and I found that a little bottle jack (2 ton Hyper Tough Walmart cheapy) was very helpful to the process (hat tip CrickiKaze B15 forum Mod par excellence). I advise installing both of the Tq-mount through bolts first, then the 17mm cross member bolts up front, then take the bottle jack and push up the rear into place (it is level & you have more work area). The crossmember bushings were shredded and I regret not acquiring them (unless you do the washer/wheel hopper jazz). I should note that I did support the tranny at some point as it was sagging & swaying like granny's handbag.
Does the engine/transmission need to be supported when dropping the cross member? Nice tutorial, but next time no need to fast forward -personally I could have benefitted from watching the whole procedure, thanks.
Thank you, we will keep that in mind when editing next time. No need to fully support engine/transmission you just need to put a bit a pressure on either of them to get the pressure off the crossmember bolts to pull them out.
@@OXCFilms Thanks jefe, one las question if I may be permitted: On the transmission mount, wouldn't it be easier to remove the nut instead of going after the recessed bolt head?
@@OXCFilms Sorry but I got one more: Did you have all 4 wheels up for the cross member to distribute the tension, or are the front two alone jacked up adequate?
Yes from what we can remember its only 1 for each mount from crossmenber to engine and 2 bolts from cross member to body in the front and 2 in the rear
