Rear transaxle mount

Got some more done. I first did the rear transaxle mount - very simple. Undo the parking brake cable on the rear calipers and pull out cable. Undo bolt for rear transaxle mount and gently lower the rear of the transaxle down. The brake flex line should be just long enough to lower the rear enough without stressing the flex line - but watch it.

Pics.
1. Lowered rear of transaxle with parking brake cable removed.
2. Pressing out old bushing.
3. Pressing in new bushing - this is not a tight fit so not much force is needed.
4. Pressing it all the way in, using the socket as receiver.

As a side note, the old bushing actually looked surprising good - nothing like the Watts linkage bushings... see next post.

Like my $11 bushing press? - works quite well for items I can carry to the real press.
