Just wanted to ask you guys what is the best way to deal with the nuts on the front mount. Jam nut lock nut and adjustment nut.
I dont have a alot of maneuvering room to get my wrench in there. Is there a trick is their a special wrench or am i being a nancy boy. I have the alignment tool and the engine just needs a slight adjustment. any help is really appreciated.

With limited access, you may have to MacGyver tools to work, shave them down, shorten them, etc.

Yeah i hear ya , just wasnt sure if others have the same issue -I see so many how to align posts but i havent found any posts related to the actual process of lowering or raising the front mount. Thanks for the response and would love to hear what anyone else has done to make the job doable . Thanx

You may even have to use a chisel and a hammer to turn the nut.
