It was in surprisingly good condition. The original tin oil shield was in perfect condition and the rubber was not oil soaked as most of them are. There was plenty of hard oil-soaked grime on the outside of the mount, but none got inside.
I went to remove the rubber and it wouldn't pop out. It appears to have been vulcanized in place. I had to destroy it to get it out. Not an easy task at all.
Does anyone know if these mounts were originally vulcanized in place?
In retrospect, I wish that I would have checked the clearance before I destroyed the rubber. I had a new replacement rubber in hand and was on autopilot to rebuild a front mount.
