Message	We did it on my suggestion and never, ever again. It's a pain, hard to be sure everything is torqued down properly, and just plain mean. The driver's side is more of a pain too. From now on the motor comes out. Only takes 2-3 hours to get the motor out once you have done it a few times. Much easier IMHO.
