How do you change an engine mount?

[macca]

There is one nut and 4 bolts. You then need to lift the engine enough to slip the mount out and install the new one. Passenger side is pretty easy, drivers side is a little more difficult due to the placement of the injector pump but it is doable. I have used a trolley jack and a length of 4x2 under the very edge of the sump where the bolts hold it on. An engine crane would make it easier. Take note the front of the car will lift quite a bit until you take the weight of the engine.

Also be careful not to hoist or jack the engine to far.

You don't take the 4 bolts off the side of the block and take the mount and upper bracket out as one?

Seems the engine needs to be lifted quite high to get the top stud clear enough to get it out, and do you do one at a time or remove both at once?

Thanks for your reply, I will have another look tomorrow and follow your instructions, it is a pain to fit spanners in the limited space.

A ratchet ring spanner seems best once they have been loosened.
