I'm replacing all eight subframe mounts on my 1999 MGF VVC with Mike Satur solid mounts. I'm doing this without removing the subframes or the engine from the car.
What has got me stumped is the rear mounts on the rear subframe. After removing the nut on the long bolt, there isn't enough room to take out the bolt because it hits the engine casing. I have cut one bolt to get it out, but I can't get the replacement bolt back in.
The new bolts are about 20mm too long, so that's how much extra clearance I need. So, how do I get the bolts in?
If anyone has done this before and can point me in the right direction to solve this, I'd be forever grateful!
