Just a tip when you install the poly dogbones save yourself a headache and just cut the rubber out and shove the poly one in. I spent a while trying to pull the rubber piece out and didn't get it, sawzall fixed it right up.

A tip with the upper dogbone bushings. Reno e the brass bushing from the poly. Lube with wd40 pop them in the dogbones than the brass bushing. save you a hassle

As far as removal I just cut the rubber lip with a razor blade and used a punch to knock.out the old rubber mount

Finally checked that out, the warp is almost completely gone, unnoticeable.

Think I may do an oil change tomorrow. Tranny and motor mounts Saturday. Any write ups on here for those??

Washed it yesterday, rubbed, polished, and waxed today.

Also went about getting those damn light bulbs out from behind the glove box.

Of course I ended up with a screw left over after re-installing.
