Fitted the replacement front diff mount today.
Like everyone else probably, I reconned I could do it without removing the rear mount bolts... and like everyone else, realised I couldn't
Working on 20 year old Kiwi cars is a dream, all the bolts came out and went back in as easy as the day it was built, no WD40 or anything, just socket on bolts in perfect condition and push. The only problem with working on the Kiwi car, was that the fuel tank cradle was also similarly in perfect condition, so hadn't rusted away to give more room to maneuver
All up fitted in just over the time it took my coffee to cool to drinkable temp and new WOF for another 6 months, result.
