    Ok, so I set myself up to get into the side cover of my 2004 GTP T65E. I got the parts, watched some videos, read BillBoost thread... http://www.grandprixforums.net/threa...e-cover-access

    But... no habla 4x 18mm engine cradle bolts. I have the 2 rear, but in the front the cradle seems to be mounted above a radiator bracket (15mm)?

    It is quite possible that I am real stupid, but am I missing something here? That seems like it increases the PITA factor a few levels.



    Thanks for any help.

    Take the bolt off the bottom there and the top of that bracket is circled here in this pic (shout out to decker as he originally sent this to me when i was doing my cam install). You should be able to get the top nut off that bracket from the front of the car. I didn't put mine back on btw.

    You have the pain in my butt shield.

    Pull those two 15's, then get the plastic whatever out of the way (expect a fight), then you'll see the 18's on the same spot as those 15's.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
