Default Stout Mounts

I fitted Perrin stout mounts at the weekend, I simple job I thought!

I wish I could meet the Subaru designer that routed the fuel intake pipe directly under one of the mounting bolts!!

And who on earth signed it off

Rant over

Determination!

If I had to do it again I would buy a small spanner.
Also I wouldn't start the job at 8 o'clock at night.

Un-doing the bolt is just time consuming.

Mounting the stout mount and tightening the bolt is the challenge!

It might help you if you jack the car up just to give you more room as you need to hold the bolt in place while appling an upwards force and get a spanner on it.
