How to change passenger side motor mount

[dustin_8907]

I got the jack under the trans and the bolt out, what do I need to do to get it out. Thanks

Ehhhh... how do you get what out? Are you talking about the tranny mount itself, or the bracket that bolts to the frame?

BTW - Please fix your profile so that your mods show up under the proper categories.

You'll need to remove the 4 rubber plugs in the frame behind the passenger side tire, and remove the 4 bolts so you can pull the bracket off. You can then remove the two bolts that hold the mount to the top of the tranny.

When removing the 4 bracket bolts, be EXTREMELY careful. It is very easy to drop them down inside the frame rail, at which point they are gone for good. Use a deep-well socket tilted downward, or a strong magnet to back them out the last few threads and remove them.

How do I get the rubber mount out now, got the mount of but don't know how to get the rubber part out of it

A hacksaw, torch, blood, and sweat.

You can usually cut through the rubber and outer ring with a hacksaw blade, and then use a screwdriver or punch to bend the ring inward until you can wrestle it out. Some people will put the thing outside and burn the rubber out with a torch, which makes it easier to get to the outer ring. In rare cases, I've heard of them coming out with a shop press.

It's a PITA the first time you do it.
