I searched through here (link), and no luck.

I'm trying to make better sense of how the rear engine mount 'T' bracket connects to engine and transmission, so I can lower the engine 2" more to ground, to better access some bolts.
The front left lower engine mount and upper left engine mount behind the power steering reservoir isn't enough, to lower the engine.

but if you dont have it just pm me for the supersecret
link that is forbidden to post here.

Thanks. It seems I may have to detach the passenger driver side cv axle and intermediate shaft (diagram), so I'll be sure to keep a close eye on that.

Why would you have to remove the axles? Just take out the bolts in the diagram that was posted.

umm....if you need to get to the 2 lower bolts of the t-bracket you don't have to remove the axles. But HEY WHATEVER FLOATS YOUR BOAT.

Thank you for the responses, I was able to get the engine low enough to expose the bolt I need to extract, it wasn't until I removed the passenger side engine mounts that I realized i needed to slightly loosen the rubber bushing 'through-bolt (purple in image below)', to make the 'T' bracket pivot downward with the transmission & engine "falling" down on it from above. No need to meddle with the mount it self.

With the exhaust manifold removed, I was able to remove the green and purple bolts pictured below, from under the vehicle. For the blue bolt, I had to remove air-intake hose. Also had to dismount the radiator(?) hose at the front of the engine, and disconnect fuel filter hose, to prevent them from getting damaged while lowering engine.
