Hey all
I just came in from under the car and im about to kill some one. Im doing my front and rear engine mounts. Now this seems like a simple task as ive done it before on other cars. now the problem is. Jacked car up and on stands, Cross member bolts are out and front engine mount off. My problem is with the rear mount. all the bolts are out and both the mount and crossmember are free but stuck and wont come out. ive jacked engine up and down but cant get it out. the problem is there is not enough room to get the mount out. anyone done this recently that might be able to shed light on my problem. Thanks in advance\ Bevan |

have you tried squirting some dish soap on there to make it easier to slip the mounts on

Just battled with my rear mount yesterday, the biggest issue was the steering rack getting in the way. I literally just dropped the whole suspension crossmember and supported with a jack, and it went right in without lifting or rotating the engine. |
