[Spridgets] Fwd: Re: disconnecting front motor mounts?

[BJNoSHOV8]

We had special tools for that.  We had a universal tool consisting of a 
shaft with interchangeable bushings in the front and a tapered cone in 
the back.  It worked reasonably well.  We also had an assortment of old 
transmission input shafts that we used when they fit.  I think nowadays 
you can buy plastic ones, at least that looks like what I've seen used 
in the car shows on tv.
