Hi, everybody!

I had a little problem with my suspension (one side of the car was lower), so I took it to the frame shop to take a look. They said my springs were a little weak, so they put some type of brackets to raise one side a little beat but it didn't help too much...
On top of that I heart some noise under the engine area while driving. Looked under the hood while my friend accelerated and i saw left side of the engine tried to fly away from the engine area )))).
Funny thing is when I dropped the car in the shop I didn't have any problem with it.. May be the shop guy messed it up, may be it was bad already, anyway I need to change the left mounting insulator.
I checked this forum and didn't find any info on how hard it is to do and if I need some special tools to complete this.
Anybody tried to do that before?

 

You will need to be able to raise the side of the engine that you are replacing the engine mount on. You can either use or hoist or maybe a floor jack. People have replaced the engine mounts with the motor still in the car this way. Before I'd go through all this I'd make sure that isn't simply a case of the nut loosening up.

 

Tanks for a heads up! Will do. I was about to order a new mount...

 

I checked the engine mount underneath, it is destroyed...

Now I'm facing one problem. There are 2 nuts holding it in place, one on the top and one on the bottom.. The bottom one is easy to remove but i have no idea how to untie the top one. There is no way you can squeeze a ranch in there. I removed the header's shield to get a better visibility but to get the ranch in you need to lift the engine and remove the header.

I'll take pics tomorrow if needed..

Any ideas?

 

Anything come of this?

Is there a guide somewhere to doing this?

 

+1 ^

 

I left it in the shop, they did it for me. Wasn't able to do it myself.

 

It's not too difficult to do if you're willing to put in some effort.

This is what I did:
-take the headers off
-unbolt the transmission from its mount
-raise the engine from the bottom using a floor jack with a block of wood
-replace the engine mount
