david lewis Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 hi all, I am going to change my engine mounts tomorrow,do I just remove the nuts and jack up the engine off the mounts--it looks like the offside one will be easier to get at I I remove the bottom hose. any advice appreciated. cheers.

Clive Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Not difficult, the only real issue is access to undo the nuts on the frontplate bit, tends to be a faff. And the main bit of advice, don't throw the old mounts away. You may want to refit them in a few months if the new ones fall apart. You have been warned!

Pete Lewis Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 As they fit in the turret and front engine plate to form of a Vee just jacking may mot release /refit quite as easy as you think if you jack on the sump use a stout wooden packer to spread the load pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david lewis Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 thanks for your advice guys. I swopped them today,thought it would take about a hour but ending up taking 3-5 hours---usual story seized nuts, difficulty in getting a spanner on some of the nuts etc. have not tried it out yet,i hope it is worth the bruised knuckles and swear words. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
