This should only take a fraction of time I spent but I just had problem after problem and couldnt get it to work. It should also be noted that I preformed this task alone.
I first spent much time trying to get just the two bottom bolts in with lord mounts and was unsuccessful. Then tried the top two. No go! Then diaganol. No go! Each time I adjusted the hight of engine with the hoist but just could not get it to work. The holes were way out of alignment!!
Gave up on last approach and removed the mount from the fuse ant began trying to mount it to the engine. Still very difficult as nothing lined up very well at all! I eventually got it but it did require some pry bars and man handeling to get it. Not easy! I sure hope I dont have to remove any time soon.
Installed the engine with mount to the airframe with hoist. Problems again. Could not get last bolt in. This took many many many iterations of loosening the other bolts and adjusting hight with hoist and then trying to tighten all the others and lowering the hoist. Etc etc etc. Finally got it!
Tightened all the mounting bolts to snug and could see that I might need to add a washer to some of the attach bolts on the engine to mount bolts for proper cotter pin placement. Ill do that later when Im rested.
