[urq] Changing Motor Mounts - Passenger Side Trick?? - Pics available

[The Corbs]

Hey Bill.  I can't believe that I typed "points" instead of "mounts".

I was finally able to get a 17mm combi on to it and loosen it to the point 
that I was able to get a socket and ratchet in.  I tried a wobbly but 
couldn't get the right angle.  Real PITA!!

The rear lower nut on the driver's side is no bargain either,

I've put in rubber mounts based on previous recommendations.  Both sides 
same height so no need for the spacer on the driver's side.

Passenger side was complete toast.  I'm going to offer pics to anyone who is 
interested.

Cheers

John Corbs
