Hi Folks,
I'm changing out the rubber engine mounts and performing Mo 72. I had a
terrible job getting the split pins out of the two lower engine mounting
bolts. I was thinking, is there anything preventing me from reinstalling
these lower bolts backwards so I can easily get the split pins back in?
Good idea or not advisable?

Martin,
I inserted mine from the rear. SO much easier as you suggest. Have to wonder why it wasn't called out in the manual??
Best regards

Martin,
There should be no structural reason why the bolt needs to be aligned in a particular direction, as they are fore-aft the 'normal' convention (for vertical bolts) does not apply.
Reading the manual (XS 912 installation) it states that the AN5-41 should be mounted lower two pointing forward and upper two pointing aft. This applies to the MT05 mount.
But for the Classic with the MT01 mount the orientation shows the lower bolts as pointing aft.
Regards
John

Thanks John, they must have changed the manual at some point. I would have used the first set of instructions ( pre-official manual).
