jack the car up and secure it.
drop the front bolt of the new dog bone mount. (engine side)
see the black bracket attached to the gear box?
slacken the top bolt to finger tight its 13mm
then using a screwdriver or something to pivet the bottom of the black bracket forward to wards the front of the car (so the top of it leans to the back of the car)
it will only move 5mm or so should look like this \ lol.. keep pushing hard and tighten up the top nut nice and tight.
now with some force or a friend to bar the engine so you can line up the dog bone mount then re bolt that up.
then do this
remove the engine cover.
undo the 4 bolts on the left hand mount
get a bar(big one)
jam it behind the back of the mount and rest it against the strut piller
****mind the AC pipes**** do not rest it against them
push the bar towars the rear of the car (moving the engine forward as far as it will possibly go)
nip all four bolts up nice and tight
