Matt - I told you how to do it today the easy way

Support engine using a jack with a block of wood, unbolt the 19mm nuts on the alloy arms holding the rubber mounts, unbolt the alloy arms off the engine (4 bolts per side) and then swap the mounts.

the passenger side is a bit difficult as you have to either remove, or adjust the position of the oil cooler

 

OR just bring the fucker to me on monday and i'll do it for you

 

Bit akward Matt.

remember doing mine ages ago, right pain.

BUT....

got told to take the bolt out of the mount and put it in place and then put the bolt back in.

 

thats if it the uprated mounts you have Matt.

 

Dave - They are a piece of piss to do, Managed to rattle it down to 15 mins a side

 

very easy ..

loosen the subframe bolts .. support engine on trolly jack via sump.. lift engine .. insert new mounts .. lower engine .. refit subframe... passenger side is a pain due to the boost hose or you can fit em from underneath

 

the length of thread fooked me up,could not lift the engine high enough.

but, like i said, the uprated mounts have a bolt through them,take out ,slide the mount in, put bot in.

may not even have to lift the engine much.

 

damn you all have some weird ways of doing it

 

OURS is weird!

easier.

 

my way was easier .. use a big bar to lever one side up at a time if there is not enough room
