Hi! Okay, so. Full suspension/steering install is complete. I'm kind of kicking myself for not getting to motor mounts/trans mount while I had the front end completely dismantled. Anyways, it's all back together but the motor mounts are awful. Just awful. I figure I'll wait to get to trans mount too since I can just jack up engine/trans and get it all in one go, or 2.
So to my question: where on oil pan should I jack? I have frame every spot that I would think to put pressure to jack up. I've taken pictures to show, and hopefully someone can point out in the picture what I'm missing
. Can I lift engine from transmission area? There's a pretty flat spot I see (circled in pic, it's got 3 holes in it
) that I'm wondering if it's safe to jack from.
Also, looks like I'm not going to even try passenger side mount without starter removed. Does that sound right to you guys? The nuts towards the back of the engine look like an absolute [email protected]#$_ to get out. Any special pointers on starter removal? I'll take pictures of this as I do it. Also, I don't notice any areas on top of engine to lift it from. I have a hoist I can use but I am clueless to what I need to lift from top instead of jack from bottom.
Thanks!
