Re: Pax Motor Mount

John,
unfortunately, its impossible to do it without yanking the belt, as well as the lower
pulley/sprocket/cover
its the only way to get to the forward bolts on the bracket.
also, you will have to undo some of what you did.
to lower/raise the engine enough to fenagle that mount bracket out and in, you will have to undo the
front/rear mounts. it can be done without doing this, but you risk damaging those brand new mounts.
