Motor mounts

well I got my camaro put back on the insurance so I thought I would do a few things that need to be done to it well the motor mounts were one of the things. well if anyone has changed mounts on a 3 gen they know what a PITA it is so I couldnt get to the top bolt closeted to the front of the car so I Drilled a hole in the cross member on each side to get the bolts well I broke my friends drill trying to do this so I had to buy him a new drill. well to drill the hole I had to take the swaybar and tierods off well I started to put things back together tie rods just spin when I try and bolt them back in! plus the drivers side swaybay mount has broken off the unibody so I guess I need new tie rods and I am going to get a new mount for the sway bar :banghead:

Maybe I just got lucky, I dunno. But it IS a PITA to change mounts.

Nice to see someone else on here with an "HO" car, though mines not original anymore.

crows foot wrench makes it pretty easy (using the wrong tools is always the hard way)
