Ok so i though i would search this but didnt really find much on the subject. Just what seemed to be a very expensive chock system to stop you engine rocking.Whistle

Anyways i have purchased some Baker BM Top engine mounts mainly because i have heard nothing but good reports about them. My question is how do i fit them...

I had a look this morning but it started to rain. Sad However from what i can see you undo the top cover, undo the main top plastic head and then block up the engine on a jack. Then undo two bolts on the engine mount bracket. There is also two cap heads not sure if these have to be removed also to enable me to release the rubber mount. Is this correct, and if so where do i go from here? any help appreciated! Big grin

Your skin is waterproof! Once you have jacked the engine up and taken the weight off the mount, and disconnected the arm from the engine, You need to get a hammer and large screwdriver/blunt chisel etc and undo it that way, using the notches on the side.

Refitting is reverse of removal...etc
