Oh boy!
I wanna hear any advice on this one!
my heap's a '92, but someone was telling me on another forum that it isn't so bad, and you can actually get at it without dismantling the dash. I sure hope so...the nights are starting to get a little chilly here in Philly.

So the three come out, the mount comes loose from the block, and then should I remove the long bolt that ...
