Pop off the three chrome bolts holding the left side cover on. Have a magnet handy to catch the spacers when they fall out. With the cover removed, use the magnet to hold the spacer in place (behind the engine hanger) while inserting the stud through its hole and spacer. The "short thread end" is then threaded into its corresponding part behind the engine hanger. Once all three studs are installed/snugged, thread the nuts onto each of them.
