I can't really add anything more to the immediate responses, except to
say that I think this is the best response to a lister's technical
question I've seen in a long time. I get the digest, so I can't really
comment in real time. Reading the responses, my first reaction was that
your question had been pretty well answered without anyone asking what
year car you were talking about. Apparently everybody looked at your sig
before responding. And everyone had something to add. Thank you list.
And thank you Mr. B. for keeping the list going.

Subject: [Mgs] Tightening the nut on the left side motor mount

On the left (driver's ) side, the steering column runs through the
bracket where the motor mount is supposed be fastened to the body.
This makes it virtually impossible to get the nut started on the stud
which runs into the bottom of the rubber mount. I have managed to do
this twice before by using an refrigerator magnet to position the nut,
but this time that trick does not seem to work. Is there any
alternative to removing the steering rack?
If I have to remove the steering rack, where can I get the special
tool that the manual shows for aligning the upper an lower parts of
the column?
Thanks,
