Default Need help w/ Rear Engine mount.. extremely frustrated.

Here's the deal. I have a 90 CRX DX.. the previous owner attempted a motor swap (b18a1) and didn't know ****.. i'm in the process of installing a rear engine mount bracket.. the mount is bolted down.. the bracket is not.. I can't get the ****** positioned right and i'm about to throw my prybar through my goddamn wall. I dont have a goddamn engine hoist either.. all i have is a big *** gorilla bar.. and scarred up ******* knuckles.. any help would be splended. Thanks -Matt-

try putting a jack under the eng / trans also take the eng mount bolt out it's tappered and will be easier to get lined up than the one that bolts down to the subframe.

make sure the rear mount is bolted to the bolt holes closest to the driver side

Jacking up the motor should do it, its just going to take some time. Go grab a buddy and have 1 of you trying to get the bolt in and one jacking it up. Your just going to have fight with it till it gets in its hole

yeah, the problem with jacking the motor up, is I have an ef mount on the drivers side holding the motor in.. and I hate to take it off because i only have jacks under the motor.. its just scary.. dont want to f' anything up.

you'll be suprised how much the engine will move even with the trans and driver side mounts in place.
