yeah, it helps if you have two jackstands. I wasn't in a hurry or anything so I went this route.

Default mark... something I noticed...

rubber gets HARD in the cold. I am sure it is as cold if not colder up by you...

I had a $#%$#%$#%$#%$#%$#%# of a time getting the new mount on the spindle.

the vibration WAS REALLY bad, but it has actually settled down after 75 miles or so of blasts. I am going to try to loosen it and recenter it again this or next weekend.

but I would say keep it wamr until you are ready. You WILL be amazed when you compare the stock one and the new one. night and day in the artic circle in 24 sun time.

Default well, umm... I don't THINK do, but why are you removing the bumper? the pan is REALLY easy to remove

I needed to get to stuff UNDER the pan... but it is SO easy, but I guees you would ... umm, just need to remove ....

no, I <I>think</I> you can leave the pan on.

It took me SO long to get it off the first time cause I was WAY worried. I think I could do it now in like 15 minutes.

Default I eas going to,. but....

I was going to install my boost gauge and turbo timer that weekend, but I am still waiting on some parts from mouser.com for the gauge, so since I already allotted the time to the car, I did the engine mount instead, and hadn't bought the liners yet. Then I borke stuff, so I have to remove it again, so I'll do the wheel well then. I hope. I should order that now huh?
