Made a bit more progress this past weekend… I got the core support out of the way! Wasn’t too bad a job after all. Took my time and measured a few things thinking I would also be removing the core support body insulators as well. The upper bushing is threaded onto the attaching bolt and no really good way to grab it and keep it from turning as you unscrew the bolt, so I decided to just leave them in place since they were still firm and pliable. I will try and get a bit of POR 15 under them… somehow!
For those interested, the assembled height above the frame horn was about 1 1/4"….
There was a nut and thick washer on TOP of the core support….
Then a thicker washer (and shim on passenger side) sat on top of the upper core support insulator bushing…
Here is the passenger side hardware stack….
Drivers side was the same only without the teardrop shaped shim.
The opening in the bottom of the core support is a large obround hole…
Next up is removal of the engine and transmission, then (HOPEFULLY) off to the body shop!
Until next time…
ZEBRA 3 OUT
