Default well you could do that too but if make sure you either keep your hand on the socket

or check it after each whack to make sure its still seated properly. It WILL start to work its way off the nut and you'll wind up stripping the nut/bolt, making the job 10x more difficult. I dont think youll need to use a sledgehammer to break nuts loose if your using a breaker bar, I just used a 4lbs dead blow hammer. I just had to use the 16lbs one to get the arms out of the upright. Other times you wont be able to hit it with a hammer and you'll just have to rely on your war cry.

Default Oh, I meant have the end of bolt sticking outwards, attaching the head end of the extension bar to

it by having someone hold it on and in place and pounding it out, like a cheap air hammer.

Default Haha, the same parts have been in my room at one point or another.

All that plus shocks & springs, too.

Yeah, expensive.

Default No, there are two tranny mounts right next to each other. One is flip to the show the black

rubber support, the other has that gray dust cover on it like the motor mounts.

Default No, automatic. I use the same mount on both sides, not the funky looking one on left the 5spd does.

Though it seems I ordered the 8D0-399-151-J mounts instead of the 151-R mounts that are shown in ETKA.

We'll see where this goes and if need be, exchange them. I'm not worried about it.
