Something useful for the serious DIY’er........

Changing the engine mounts, or pulling the trans out can be a pain in the butt if you try to support the engine with a floor jack, which ends up always being in the way. Same problem crops up with just about any front driver that you might be doing the same type of maintenence on.

Porsche sells an "engine support bar" that supports the engine from above, but costs about 1,000,000 Euros....................

Harbor Freight has a great alternative:



List for about $60, but you can get it for $48 with one of the 20% off coupons that seem to be in just about every publication these days...........
