You gotta remove the insides of your mounts including the steel ring. A torch usually works the best. You can remove the inside steel ring with a sawzall and a chisel/hammer. It can also be pressed out by your local machine shop.

Place the inserts inside the mount and you're done.

I've found that a little grease goes a long way when installing the inserts into the mounts.

are the small weird shaped front mounts any good? or shouldve i gotten ones like i did for the sides

 

[viperbenz1]

im using the same once the sides and front and back, they all work great, my motor didnt move a inch

The front and rear are simple. Just press them by hand into the sides of the existing mount and the urethane should fill all of the void bewteen the rubber. For 2G mounts, this is the only urethane solution. They don't make a full replacement like the side mounts.

The sides require a bit more work, but it's easy enough: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/art...install-prothane-mounts-drill-saw-method.html

okay but do i have to pull the stock front and rear ones out or do these just give support?

oh ok sorry i asked that at the same time you answered

FYI - On the 1G's at least, the rear insert is also a solid insert. At least it was on the set I bought. Only the front still uses the hard outer inserts that sit next to the stock rubber. Are the 2G's still solid only on the sides?

You guys might want to take a look at this, about half way down. Or you may not.

the front and rear mounts have a few cracks on them, from age. While they were in the car, I felt the engine 'dance' back and forth everytime I gave it gas and let off bacause of this.
Should I replace the mounts before using the inserts or are they good enough keep? The rubber is not completely shot but they are visibly cracked.

Yup. That is how they differ.

I wouldn't worry about it. The front and rear mounts are only roll stops. Just install those urethane pieces and you should see an improvement.

I sure did when i installed mine.

 

[Aproductions]

okay. thanks a lot guys! ill post some pics tomorrow after the project.

A vise works great to press them in. To get the inner race out i used a hack saw to just cut the inner race then a chisel the edge up and hammer out.

I know this is an old thread but my front mounts rubber is completely ripped at both connection points, the rubber is still in there. Could i still use the inserts or should I buy or do I need to buy a new mount?

The front & rear torque mount inserts are designed to work with a completely intact stock mount, so no a ripped stock mount wouldn't be ideal. From my experience, those inserts seem pretty useless with a good stock mount anyways. If you want a real, descent mount, look at the complete replacements from Avid racing. They are solid urthane for a 4 mounts & a much better setup IMO.

 

[99gst_racer]

If the rubber is completely torn, they I'd source out replacements. Either pick up some new mounts, or have some solid aluminum ones pressed in.

i saw a kit recently for a 1g, not sure if it was energy or prothane, where all 4 mounts were solid pieces and not the weird shaped "inserts" that just work with the stock rubber. anyone know about this? and yes, i'm sure it was brand name.

The 1G Prothane kit replaces all 4 mounts. The 2G Prothane kit replaces 2 and has inserts for 2.

 

[gudz519]

i ran into a problem i have the prothanes and the inserts for the rear roll stopper wont fit it is like the rubber on the rear mount is too much any ideas?

 

[Aproductions]

try flipping the roll stop 180 degrees or get a new mount and then try it.
