Locking washers on motor mounts

[1979 Quartermasters]

Hi guys:

Found the locking washers on the underside of the motor mounts. How do I deal with these. Just bend them back, make the adjustment and bend them back again?

Thanks....

Ken.

Or. Get new 3/4" lockwashers!

Exactly

Just did this last week. Yup, bend em up, adjust, bend em back down. If you break one off, then you'll need to replace it (or use locktite in a pinch)

Bit of a pain the %$s or back, as the case may be!! Got them loose, engine aligned, and drive on. Just have to oil it and lite it. Might not have time today as the temp is 2 celcius ( just above freezing for you guys down south). lol
