heres a little how to on fitting the powerflex lower engine mount.

1. get the front of the car up on jack stands
2. look towards the rear of the engine, next to the fan you will see the mount. remove this 16mm bolt




3. now remove the second 16mm bolt holding the mount




4. remove this bracket from the engine, 4x 13mm bolts and its free




5. once the bracket is removed there is enough room to get the mount out, it looks like this




6. take your powerflex out of the box, use the supplied grease to coat the surfaces that will come into contact with the old bushing, now press the powerflex into the mount until you end up with something looking like this.




7. put the mount back in place and fit the bracket, locate the 16mm bolts (some movement of the engine may be required, tighten bolts, job done!


thanks chris for reminding me to get this done!
