Update. Did motor mounts today and noticed that my first installation of driver side filter box left the "legs" dangling on side of grommets.
The box bolts- on top via grommets as well, so it will work in this position, but long term effect can be pretty bad.
So I tried to fit the legs into grommets and it turn almost impossible for single person.
You have to bend the box to fit between engine and fender, while you don't have much grab on the top and you work blind.
Took me about 10 trips from top of the engine to under to recheck before I was able to set the box on grommets rings and finally long bar from under pushed the legs into grommets.
If you want to do it right alone, you better get one of those construction cameras with flexible shaft.
