Hi again

Answering my own question .... I levered the engine downwards to make room above the sensor to wiggle the bolt out.

In case it can help anyone else, attached picture shows the crowbar in position to lever the engine. I hooked a crowbar on to the top of the bracket on the auto gearbox that holds the gear change cable.

And a pic of the old (original) mount I removed .... and obviously in need of replacement (63,000 miles)

Not surprisingly, noticeably smoother gear changes now, and hardly any movement of the engine when engaging Drive or Reverse.

I was going to measure the Resistance on the 2/4 Brake Solenoid as per info in other threads on here, but probably not really needed now. So my new solenoid and gasket can stay in my "Just in Case" box for now!


Cheers

John
