Just a case of unbolting the old one and bolting the new one in its place, no need to suport engine etc as it prevents engine slap, not really support the engine.

Ok then so im safe to lie under the car while removing the old one?!

Cheers buddy, just wanted a second bit of advice!

 

[Josh@Renparts]

yeh alright to be under the car. just make sure you use axel stands (all standard procedure of course)

 

[ClioDaN87]

Could be a b**ch, took ages to get my valver one out, it was wedged in so tight and barely any space with the exhaust, not sure what its like on a RT though. Also took ages to get get the new one aligned up properly with the bolts holes!

 

[ClioDaN87]

Ok then noted that, cheers if it gets too much for me with my plaster cast on ill just have to call for back up lol!
