Re: [alfa] Milano driveshaft / rear engine mount issue

[George Graves <gmgraves@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The rear engine mount has to be pressed out and the new on pressed in 
you know. Same with the rear DeDion mount. I suspect that it has to be 
done out of the car. I don't know of any press that could get up inside 
the underside of the car to reach either in-situ. You might be able to 
apply heat and use a drift and hammer to remove the old one, but I 
doubt if the replacement would tolerate being heated to install it.
