I took a quick look at the mount bolts for the ac bracket, and on the right side of the block are two bolts that secure the motor mount, then the bracket. I am wondering, if I pull these two bolts to replace my bracket, is the engine gonna drop? I cant see any other obvious bolts from the motor mount, but I find it hard to believe that it's just those two. Anyone swap their bracket lately and remember? thanks

Those aren't the only bolts holding the mount to the engine, but those two long bolts, or studs go into the water jacket and require sealant.

Put a yak under it.

".......if I pull these two bolts to replace my bracket, is the engine gonna drop? .."

yes. you will have to support the engine from underneath using a jack before pulling these bolts out.

That's what I said.

Hard to work on? Huh? Ever work on a Yapanese car? You've got to be kidding!

I did get it on today (plus lots more and took her for a long, sweet ride) and it was no biggie. I think it's just me. i work on all types of stuff; it just seems this one, every time I start something new on it, is 3 times harder than it should be. Motorcycles are the easiest. Thanks for the info everyone!:thumb:

I hate working on motorcycles. Those & lawnmowers are just a PITA.
