ENG: Polyurethane Engine Mount Install

[MRX]

hey deev i think your loosening the nut...not the bolt. When looking at the mount loosen the side that DOES NOT have a thread coming out of it. This goes for all of the mounts. Lemme know if that helps. Basically when facing the car u should be focusing on the left side of the mount not the right. And for the bottom bolt go underneath the car, get an extra rachet or something with some girth. put the rachet-extension- 17mm socket together and then put another object (i used another rachet cause it was close) and place it between the crossmember and the rachet-ext.-17mm thing...i did all this because when i got down there, there wasn't enough room for me to hold onto the extension and the rachet at the same time so i was either gonna strip the bolt because the socket wasn't sitting correctly on the bolt or i'd just be losing alot of torque due to it tilting downward as i turned the rachet. With the rachet in place, the rachet in my hand couldn't come down towards me anymore and the thing came out willingly after that. Hope that helps the lot of you out

Sumumabitch! I can't even get the top bolt loose! I was hoping to install the things this afternoon before work, but that's not happening... I can only fit my medium sized ratchet in there past the header, so I don't have much to work with. I guess I'll need an extender of some sort, making this a project for another day!

To loosen the bolt, it DOES go towards the front of the car, right?

Lefty loosey, righty tighty.

If the wrench if sticking *up* from the bolt, it'll go towards the rear of the car to loosen.

DriverFX has em on backorder, so it'll take a while... I'm mad, but I'll get em eventually!

[92accordcoupe]

Guess DriverFX is the way to go

Lightning Motorsports also has a $1.50 charge for orders under $20
$11.37 for the part and comes to $21.02 shipped for me which is kind of ridiculous considering the size of the part

hey got a question. when you were taking out the mount, did you support the engine so it didnt drop or sag? or did ya just rip it out and not worry bout it? just curious cuz i beleive the haynes manual said some crap bout supporting the engine with a jack and cardboard. thanks!

i used a hydraulic jack and piece of thick wood to support it and keep the jack from scracthing anything. But yes they are very correct that you need to support the engine

[deevergote]

Mine are on their way. I doubled my order and I'm splitting the shipping cost with my buddy. Works for me! in 5-10 days... I can't wait.
