Car is no longer getting finished, I decided when I did trash that I should probably only run my arm through the damn big box before recycling and not thoroughly & GOD DAMN F**KING THROW AWAY MY F**KING TRANSMISSION F**KING MOUNT :curse:
/end rant
In other calming news I vaguely remember taking it to my mom's, but I couldn't find it. Game...Set...Match good job Jay you f**king moron :down:
edit:
I am getting stressed out, considering I have to drive 4 others to the airport at like 3am. I relaxed at home & did what I call "Star Search" which is basically a fancy way of saying "trace your steps." I was able to think that I should check a box I have my old pressure plate/clutch in and Voila my transmission mount was staring right at me.I had tears of joy woohoo

So some heat and that collar came off nice and smooth. The steel is very soft compared to the OEM one, the pipe wrench just ate into it.
Pressure washed the strut housings and assembled one. I threaded the top 19mm nut I got on as tight as I could, but couldnt torque it to the 50lbs it should be. I am going to do that on the car I believe. Hardest part of this job is just compressing the spring.

The meth in methanol is simply a prefix for something with a 1-carbon chain, next being eth (2-carbon) propyl, butyl etc.. the correct IUPAC name for meth (drug) is N-methyl-1-phenylpropan-2-amine. Yes i am getting my BS in Chemistry so yes i do know what im talking about.....methanol and meth couldn't have less in common.

Phil when you removed the starter, was there any hex head bolts that went on the other side of the starter bolt. I have two bolts that seem to fit through the starter/transmission holes, but I believe I am missing something to tighten this thing.
The interwebs says something about a hex head, but the Bentley says nothing.Originally posted by James Crivellone1) The internet is NOT serious business.

IIRC, when bolting the starter up, there are 4 bolts. On my M50 car, I had inverted Torx bolts (10mm, IIRC) and a few of them had 17mm nuts on the end, while some bolted elsewhere. On the black 'vert, it was all 17mm bolts. I don't remember there being any hex bolts, however.'72 2002 | '88 M5 | '89 330is | '89 M3 | '95 911 | '02 M5 | '04 RR HSE

Originally posted by 5Toes View PostI just did the job... and yes big fat inverted torx nuts on the firewall side
I shoved a screwdriver in there and torqued them down on the other side (17mm bolt)You sure a 17mm will fit through the two Starter holes?
