Why wont my prothane mounts line up!!!

**01ws6er** · 02-07-2009, 03:34 PM

Trying to put my engine back on the k member and the motor wounts will not line up with the bolt holes on the k member!!! I can get the bolt in on either side but when I go to put the opposite side in, it's about 1/4 to 1/2 inch off :ak: I'm getting really pissed off so if anyone could help ease my frustration that would be awesome

Thanks!

are you using the same k-member that was in it before?

yup, the stocker. I'm gonna go back out and loosen up the 4 mounts bolts and then see if I can get em to line up...

I feel your pain, I had alignment issues as well. Due to the tight mount fitment in the shell, its gonna take some prying with a BIG pry-bar and some patience.

I finally got them in! It took about 3 hours and im so sore from having to twist and pry and bend and reach haha. I'm kinda pissed about the fitment but I think If i'd have let them soak in hot water for a while maybe they would have been more pliable...? It was a good workout though
