since i have no record of this being replaced then i assume i need to.
i am not sure if i need to tackle, or just pay someone to do. i have replaced rings in v/w ,dropping a 914 engine is a 45 minute job. mainly because i have done it many times. but i have never touched motormounts on a v8. i also do not own gear pulling tools. i know i dont need a big oh crap thing happen, nor do i need a never ending project. so questons are,
first one for those who have done only once, do you wish you had paid someone else to do. i know i have to buy the parts no matter what. i dont have a helper.
and to the person who has done a dozen times, does having a rookie to help really help, or mainly give you someone in the way?
overnighter planned end of month, approx 125 miles away, i am not sure if i will tackle before then or after then.
all input appreciated,
coach has approx 118700 miles , good history up til approx 8 years ago. on the blueridge parkway 2 weeks back it drove great.
thanks bgk
