Why does everything seem to be so hard to do anymore. I bought an entire new yoke springs etc for the front motor mount and I am having trouble installing the short bottom spring and castellated nut.Should this be bolted onto engine first and the weight will compress the spring enough I can start the nut? What I am trying to do is install into crossmember first but I cannot compress the two support springs enough by my one remaining hand to get the single nut started. I should have just stay retired from another project and kept my '37 going I guess. Just one thing after another and my first day back in the garage after a hospital stay two weeks ago.I did get the transmission back in yesterday though.
