Could ya let me know whats the best way of getting to it. I unbolted the T bracket and i couldnt get it out then somehow I got to all three bolts of the mount with a long extension and a swivel socket. Then somehow after much struggle I removed the mount. But putting it back in is gonna be another hellova struggle. lolQuote:

Man sikaflex 252 is a pain in the ass to work with :p
Both front lowers and rear engine mounts are drying inside overnight.
Mounts cleaned with kerosene then cleaned with IPA electronics solvent to remove any oil residue left to ensure the sikaflex sticks well.
Once dry I'll dremal any excess sikaflex off and neaten up the mounts..
filled up the mounts in one go luke? gonna take more than overnight to completely cure hehe
Yeah I did :oQuote:

Did you need to remove the dump pipe or header in your case Ben?Quote:

Just see how it goes. I did not remove mine to do the rear.
Still not dry :(
Looks like I'll be busing it for a few days dang it!
My first one, I filled it up full.....1 week later and the inside still wasnt dry.. I just installed it anyways
Used billet innovatives in my build, there are extra vibrations but I LOVE it!
Shifts are much crisper, really feels like it puts the power down much more efficiently.
