INSTALL NOTES & SUGGESTIONS
- Follow the Perrin install guide carefully. Spend the extra time to decouple the frontpipe-midpipe connection and two transmission nuts.
- UNBOLT AND TAKE OFF ANY AND ALL FRONT STRUT TOWER BARS. Damage to the fuel lines and intake coupling are well within possible if jacking the engine up too high. Taking off the stock strut-to-firewall bars are not required.
- Watch out for how your wood block will obstruct access to bolts. A good rule of thumb is that the wood block should be a little over the length of the entire oil pan.
- It is possible and recommended to take off the motor mount bolts using a mix of extensions and small 14mm sockets. Taking off the steering rack, exhaust manifold, and front sway bar will make this a lot easier, but the hassle isn't worth it if you get creative; can slide extensions under the steering rack to get at the rear mount bolts.
- Don't be afraid to jack your engine up to get that pesky driver's side out. Turn the driver's side mount different directions and take out through the back if the exhaust manifold is still on
- When installing the Perrin mounts, the lettering and arrows go INSIDE (the FRONT LEFT means driver side. FRONT RIGHT means passenger side. I don't know why they don't use those descriptions. There is a typo on the current Perrin instructions relative to these.. see if you can find it
- The spacer's flat face is to clear the transmission's lip near the rear bolt hole. You'll figure it out; orient the spacer to the rear and slightly looking 'in' to the transmission
