Joe, I was disgusted and put the tire back on and the jack down. Later I decided to give it one last try so this time I did not jack the whole car up, just the engine. Much to my surprise I had room to spare, I don't understand what difference that made but I was very happy. I'd also like you to know the third mount sits behind the engine on top of what I assume to be cross member sits on top and in the middle and a real pain to get to. So glad I didn't have to unbolt it. I asked a new question, maybe you can help me with it. The new pulley inside diameter was bigger than the original. I got to look and the original one had a race inside the enclosed bearing. I removed that from the factory bearing and it fit right in the new bearing. Is this the norm or did they give me the wrong pulley? There were three different priced pulleys, mine was not the cheapest but not the most expensive either. I paid 28.00 instead of 40.00. What I'm asking is should I take it back? It's on the engine but it's so easy to get to now I can remove it if need be. Maybe the aftermarket pulleys don't come with race because you use the old one. I don't like that idea and what if the old race was damaged? Thanks. Joe
