Does anyone have any experience changing the left and right front rubber cab mounts on the 1078A1.
The mounts are the same part numbers as the back center cab latch which I have changed without any problems.
The left and right front mounts tend to deteriorate overtime just like the the rear cab latch mount and since I have the parts I want to change them.
If you raise the cab it's easy to get at the one on the right front. The bolt is captive in the channel on top and you can loosed up the lower nut with a 1 3/16" deep well socket and loosens up the parts. The left one is a little more problematic because you have to work around the steering box and other stuff in the way, but it's not impossible.
However, getting the nuts off and the parts loose is only half the battle. Somehow, it appears that you will have to raise the cab up about an inch or so to slide in the new mount on top, then drop the bolt through. The bottom one is easy. So my question is, does anyone have any experience or tips that they can share to raise the cab up a bit to get at the top mount. Like I said, it likely needs to come up about an inch to slide these in.
Many thanks if you can help...
