how to put engine bolt back on ...?

#1 PostAuthor: bunnysZ » Sat Dec 30, 2006 9:55 pm

have put on on front crash bars , but having trouble putting the lower front engine bolt/nut back on ... this is the one that is sort of, triangle shape. but with rounded ends and not right angles. the bolt goes through the plate and the nut slips on under the engine, but the exhaust is in the way . have managed to get one side on but the other side is a real pain... anyone have any tips to get this on without taking off rear part of exhaust.

I've seen them with a hole drilled in the bottom of the teardrop just big enough to insert maybe a coat hanger wire it's easy to insert it up through the pipes this way :roll:

try a long nose pliers to steady it and moving it around when in place it should match up to the bolt eventually
