VirtualVairs Digest, Vol 121, Issue 36

Sun Feb 15 15:21:22 EST 2015

Hi Bryan. I will be making such a tool and change the Mount.  I already have the car on stands so when I get a mount I'll change it.  Got some cores so I just may order one in the morning from Cal Clark.
Thanks for the info. Never had to change one in the CSR before.

One use for the 1/2" 90 degree bent end of the fan belt wrench many of us have is to hold the bolts that attach the mounts to the cross member.  Just be sure that both the car and the transmission are well supported.
