    Hello all!
    I should post more, but that's another topic.
    I have my '04 GP GT with 161K miles, and noticed my aluminum engine mount (attaches to the rocker) broke, so I went ahead and ordered the part to replace it so my engine doesn't dance around.
    Well I'm stuck now, and I need your help! I'm stuck on the last bolt (13mm, has a star bit on top), it attaches right next to an injector (don't worry, I'm uploading pictures!) and I need to see if I need to remove the injector, or the whole fuel rail itself. And if so, how do I do that?
    Let me know if you need any more pictures, I will happily supply them!
    Thank you in advance and I'll let you all know if I'm successful or not!

    I thought the fuel rail had to come off for that bolt?

    I haven't worked on an N/A car in awhile.

    This is why I removed that crappy mount anyways once I took it off.

    You know I'm guessing it does. Mine was sheared off when I took the bracket off.

    Here's the two brackets, haha missing something?

    I took one off at the salvage yard saturday and didn't have to remove anything.
    Just use a 13mm open end wrench and take it out. It takes patience but it will come out. Just take the bolt and bracket out together.

    You can wiggle the bolt in with the fuel rail in there but it's easier to pull it off.

    As twisted said open end wrench and lots of patience because you can barley turn it.
