Yeah: small hands. This WILL take more time than you think. The nuts inside the crossmember are not held in place, so you'll have to figure out how to get a wrech into that tiny space and hold them. A few years ago I had one go bad, so I figured I'd replace both while I was at it. I replaced the bad one. The other mount is still in the box.

 

have fun!!!!! i jus replaced mine with poloyurathane it helps to have 2 people and a few extentions and knukles they are a pain when i put em back on i put nuts on top side i did mine with motor out i hate to do em with motor in good luck later

I need to change mine too... I haven't gotten down to it though. How long will this take? How exactly do you change the mounts? I would think there would be some engine movement, hope not =p

 

I just did mine this past weekend. With the engine out of the car, it took about an hour to remove them and another hour to get them back in. Get a flexible shaft mounted magnet because you're going to need it when you drop the bolts/nuts inside the frame. And eventually you will drop one of them inside the frame.

You believe the dealer wanted $75 each for them? Got them at Advance for $8 a piece. What a ripoff...

I just did mine a couple weeks ago with the engine out of the car. I was able to change them out in about an hour and a half. Once you get the proper "custom" tool and a techique, it goes pretty quick I would not want to try and change them with the motor still in the car however!

 

I found it easiest to compress the springs, disconnect the ball joint and let the control arms hang down. The time it took to drop the control arms saved a lot of aggrevation.

huh? These were never a problem for me?

But yeah get a telescoping magnet for dropped bolts. Should be mandatory equipment anyway for working on cars

 

I got mine by holding a wrench at varying angles with a pair of vise grips. Stuff rags in the crossmember... Drop the nut in there and you'll spend more time trying to fish them out with a magnet. (you'll drop it... about 100x)

Use some contact cement or bubble gum on the end of the wrench to hold the nut.

 

mine were 9.99 bucks a peice at the local discount auto parts store
