11. If you are re-using the OE A-arms, remove all 4 rear A-arm bolts from the OE K-member using a 21mm
deep socket. Using an 18mm socket,
remove both front A-arm bolts then
remove the A-arms.
12. Install the BMR K-member onto the
car using the factory mounting
hardware. Tighten all 8 K-member
mounting bolts to 85 ft/lbs. using an
18mm socket. Lower jack and
remove.
13. Locate the BMR motor mount
hardware and install it as shown in
IMAGE 8. NOTE: The assembly is
shown with the K-member out of the
car for illustrative purposes only.
Line up the motor stands with the
mounting bushings on the K-member. It may be necessary to shift the K-member or the motor slightly
to get the holes lined up. Once lined up, position the other polyurethane bushings and supplied 2”
washers on the bottom of the K-member mounting bracket and insert the supplied 3/8” bolt. The
bushings should “sandwich” the K- member mount when installed correctly. Tighten the bushing
mounting bolts to approximately 15 ft/lbs. using a 9/16” wrench and 9/16” socket.
