what is the procedure for installing new engine mounts? do I just lift the engine a little and take the old mounts out and install new ones? or is there more involved..

thanks

Jamez,

You SUSPEND the engine. If you notice, the engine does not sit on the engine mounts, it hangs from them. Therefore, hook a chain to the lifting points on the top of the engine and lift it until the chains are just taught. Then unbolt your engine mounts and change them. The left one should not be a problem, but the right one may be a little more involved. You may have to remove the exhaust heat shield that attaches to the body in order to remove the mount. Other than that, it is a pretty straight forward job and should consume little time. Oh, by the way, check the mounting area around the right engine mount and clean up the area if needed. Treat it with a good coat of paint if any corrosion is found. Good Luck!
