V6 Engine Mount

Fusilier · 27th June 2024, 14:05

Just put the car in the man cave, (took the XKR out) and put the ZT-T in, as I am going to be doing some work on it, first job was to take undertray off, no problem, as I have stainless fastners, then to tackle first job, replace engine mount, took about 2 hours, as it is a pig of a job, no so much as undoing bolts, but getting them out, ended up haeing to undo top mount as well, to give me a bit of movement and then have to use jack to lift engine around 10mm just enought to give me access to remove bolt, and then managed to get new mount in, and bolts back in. Whilst underneath also gave subframe a rub down, applied some Krust treatment, and today I have undercoated the front end, looks much better than it was. Next Job will be to replace all the calipers and pads, Front off, but also need to change the ABS Sensor, and seems to be another job which will be a bit of a nightmare, as cannot undo the 8mm (9nm) bolt, but will eventually get it done, then a good clean and polish
