22 Undo and remove the two nuts, bolt and
spring washers securing the mounting to the
subframe.
23 Raise the jack slightly and remove the
bolts securing the mounting to the bracket on
the transmission casing. The engine mounting
can now be withdrawn.
24 Refitting is the reverse sequence to
removal.
Upper tie-bar and bushes renewal
25 Undo and remove the two bolts securing
the tie-bar and mounting bracket to the right-
hand side of the engine (see illustration).
Move the tie-bar sideways and recover any
spacing washers that may be fitted.
26 If the tie-bar is secured to its mounting
bracket on the bulkhead by a through-bolt
and locknut, remove the locknut and bolt and
lift away the tie-bar.
27 If the tie-bar is secured by a stud with
nuts and spring washers at each end, undo
and remove the nuts and spring washers, then
slacken the four nuts securing the clutch and
brake master cylinder to the bulkhead. When
sufficient clearance exists, lift up the tie-bar
upper mounting bracket over the tie-bar stud,
and withdraw the tie-bar.
28 With the tie-bar removed, slide out the
rubber bushes and spacers and, if there is any
sign of swelling or deterioration of the rubber
whatsoever, renew the bushes.
29 Refitting is the reverse sequence to
removal.
Lower tie-bar and bushes
renewal
30 The lower tie-bar fitted to later models
may be mounted in one of two positions;
either bolted to a bracket on the left-hand side
of the transmission at one end and to the rear
of the subframe at the other, or bolted to a
bracket on the right-hand side of the
transmission at one end and to the front of the
subframe at the other. The renewal procedure
is the same for both types (see illustration).
31 Chock the rear wheels then jack up the
front of the car and support it on axle stands
(see “Jacking and vehicle support”).
32 Undo and remove the bolts securing the
tie-bar to the transmission bracket and
subframe, and withdraw the tie-bar.
33 To remove the bushes it will be necessary
to draw them out using a tube of suitable
diameter, a long bolt and nut, and packing
washers. The new bushes are refitted in the
same way but lubricate them with liquid
detergent before fitting.
34 Refitting is the reverse sequence to
removal.

Removal
1 Set the engine with No 1 cylinder at TDC on
compression as described in Section 3.
2 Remove the distributor as described in
Chapter 5B.
3 Where a distributor base housing is fitted to
the cylinder block, unscrew the single retaining
bolt and lockwasher and remove the housing.
4 Look down into the distributor aperture and
observe the position of the slot in the
distributor driveshaft. With No 1 piston at
TDC, the slot should be positioned as shown
according to engine type (carburettor engines
or fuel injection engines) (see illustrations).
