Alschnertz--your photo did not show up so I can't point out the problem--only describe it. The cast bracket is attached to the motor by four bolts. Two of them line up parallel to the ground at the top of the bracket. The other two are towards the rear of the bracket lower down and lined up vertically. With the motor mount removed (via the two nuts on studs and one bolt forming a triangle) from the cast bracket leaves the two upper bolts exposed--except that the 2nd one back is partially blocked by the rearmost upright stud.
Ooops! your photo has just now appeared and you can clearly see the two studs with nuts and one bolt holding the mount to the cast bracket. Hidden by the mount are the two uppermost bolts that hold the bracket to the motor. From what I can see is the cast bracket has to come off to gain access to the tensioner and idle pulley (as instructed by Mitchell on Demand). -- Dave
