    How hard to replace them? Can i jack up the back of the I-shift transmission to get the weight off the mounts?, what are the torque specs for the 2 main bolts and 6 bolts to the frame? Thanks in advance

    I never did a D13 but probably the same as the other Volvo White Gmc and Autocar trucks. I used a bottle jack under the flywheel housing with a 2 X 4 between them. Remove the upper brackets and cross bar. Then jack it up. Remove the bracket from the bell housing. Then put it back with the new bushing. Tighten it just as tight as it was to come off. Do not let the engine roll one way or the other and pack your lunch.
    Good luck.

    The ones with the clutch assist on the left side are really tough but it is doable.
    Alive is good and do not put your fingers anywhere that could become a problem.
    Let us know how it goes.

    All went well, still alive and have all my fingers, just managed to get a lot of grease all over myself. Passenger side was relatively easy, driver side had bunch of airlines and wires covering access to the bolts. Spent solid 6 hours.
