Been there, saw that, went to the shop Posted by Ari [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Top Engine Mount, Yaofeng, Fri, 5 Nov 2004 04:38:16 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Heck, I got one bushing 3/4 of the way in before everything stopped. If there is a misalignment, the front edge of the bushing will build up a little metal berm in the bracket, and no bench vise can overcome it. A reasonable machine shop will have a 10 or 20 ton arbor press. That is so much more than a bench vise. I've got a pretty beefy one, and the bushing just laughed at it. I even went so far as to sandwich the bushing/bracket between my floor jack and the lifting point under the car. I lifted the front of the car on the bushing, and it was no joy.
The trouble with a bench vise is that the thread is usually pretty coarse. That makes for a stronger vise and faster opening and closing, but it reduces your mechanical advantage.
You are going to all lengths to avoid being inconviencenced. Take it to a shop and buy yourself a cup of coffee.
