Default need help installing the snub mount from vast performance...

just finished my timing belt, in the process of putting the snub mount from vast performance on. but for the life of me, i can't get it to fit for the last hour or so. is there any trick in getting this thing on? i have the car in service position so there isn't alot of room.

TIA

One good-solid thunk with a hammer should put it on...

Default even with the radiator support in service position?....

i only have about 2 inches of space to put the snub mount in. can't really get a good solid thunk in.

Default Oh, damn. Missed that... I always take the rad support totally out.

Mike shaves the inside, so it should be pretty close. You can grease it, as expstang suggested. Maybe grease it and try to pry it on somehow?

Default thanks mike, i will give it a try tomorrow...

hopefully i'm not forced to take the rad support off. i konw its probably not too difficult, but having spent all day doing the timing belt and what not. i'm a little bit tired. probably nothing compare to your engine pull though

Default Yea, LOL.

It helps that everything I needed didn't arrive all at once or I'd be slaving over the damned thing nonstop.

Default Put it in a cup of really hot water for a few minuts right before you put it on.

Also, just use a piece of wood (1x4 or so) to lever it on.
