escort-ross Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Do you mean the aqua mount on the right hand side at the back of the engine bay? If so i changed mine without taking off any other mounts, if i remember i had to jack up the gearbox then pull the engine forward with a bar to get the room i needed to slot it in. And this should be in the mechanical section, mods will move it for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
