Next putting in the new rear engine mount - with the experience of doing it on the 3.7 this was not something I was looking forward to. Particular with limited access and rolling around the garage floor. Also, since the new mount obviously has the rod I could not press it in the way I had pressed the old one out. So, the tricks of the freezer and filing the metal sleeve of the new bush were applied. Though, the filing (a bit) was what made it work!
1. "Honey, please store the Alfa parts in the garage."
2. The home of the rear engine mount.
3. Going, going,...
4. Going in...
Done.
For me the deciding trick was to file it a bit until it would slide it with firm tapping with a hammer & punch.
