can someone do a search for me on an article on how to replace an engine mount. I was going to attempt to do it myself with the help of a couple of friends. anyway i cant find anything in the forums on how to replace the mount.

BY THE WAY NEVER LET YOUR 18 YEAR OLD OLDER SISTER DRIVE YOUR CAR...

 

and i just bought the car like 5 months ago when i turned 16...i have no idea what kind of engine is in it except that it is a 5.7L 350.

 

:sillylol:

i've never replaced a motor mount but i heard its a PITA to get to .. need to use an extension and a universal joint.... go out and get a repair manual, haynes are alright...

 

Just did them. Your going to want to jack up the car and let the front tires hang. Remove the tire. 2 people makes this job easy. first remove the bolt running through the mount. 5/8 for the bolt and 11/16 I think fo rthe nut. After that is removed, go ahead and have somebody put a 15mm wrench onte bottom bolt for the mount while somebody gets the lower mount nut right underneigth with another 15mm socket and 4in extension. Now the hard part. Your going to need a 2 in extension and 2 4 inch ones with a 3/8 swivel and a 15mm socket put all of it together and get the inside bolts with the socket train. Your going to have to fish it through the spring and place it up in the inside nut. Once it is in place have somebody uptop unscrew it from there. once the last 2 are out jack up motor slide mount down and place new one in and slide back up. install bottombolt and top bolts. Lower motor back on and install long though mount bolt. replace nuts (i had small hands so i put my hands though the spring. tighten up and thats it. It sounds really hard but I did the whole job in 2 hours.

 

I used an open end 5/8" wrench taped to another longer wrench. It being taped lets you angle the 5/8" wrench to hold the hard to get to nuts and the fact that it is a tad bigger than 15mm gives you a bit of play so the wrench is easy to get the nut on. When the nut is hand loose, have a magnet up there to hold the nut so it doesn't fall into the crossmemeber. Both mounts took me 45min.
