Engine moved slightly whilst installing crash protectors?

[jimsym]

Whilst installing crash protectors, one side of the engine has moved, meaning I cant install the second bolt, and the holes now dont line up (see pictures).

Ive just spent the last hour pushing and pulling and cant get the thing to move.

Given that Im not that confident with spanners, can anyone give any advice or is it off to the garage?

you could try slackening off the other side, as well as the other 2 bolts that hold the frame into the engine...that might give you enough wiggle room to get the engine pushed back into position.

Get a jack under the lump.

sorted.

This, plus filed a spare, similar sized bolt into a needle point and knocked it in first which did enough necessary to align the holes.
