Well I had to unbolt the towers to begin with just to get that forth bolt out of the mount, so unbolting them again wasn't a problem.

I ended up bolting the towers to the mounts, and dropping the engine while putting the bolts loose in one side, while using some old long alternator bolts as guide studs on the other. It kinda worked. I ran out of daylight, but the troublesome bracket is about 1/4" off the frame rail with an alternator bolt stuck in it cockeyed.

Tomorrow I'll hit it fresh.
