motor mount

Hello sidestman, Mike De Vito here, to replace the engine mount on your right, looking at the engine----first thing is---IT=92s the LEFT side engine mount when you go for the part, other wise you=92ll get the wrong part, with respect to left and right, it is always viewed-- left and right from sitting in the drivers seat, I don=92tmean to be rude. Ok, first---place a floor jack under the chassis, just behind the left front wheel well---or the right front wheel well as you look at the engine,----the chassis is flat with holes drilled in it-----the chassis will be viewed just as the fender meets the door, placement of the jack is very important------ just as the fender meets the door is where you need to place the floor jack----and only a foor jack.----next---place a portable horse----(safety stand) under the chassis next to the jack-----now remove the jack from under te chassis----now the car is resting on that Safety Stand or portable horse, DO NOT GO WITHOUT THESE MENTIONED PROCEDEURES----I=92ve had a car come down on me doing the very same job!!-----next----your going of need a piece of wood wider than the oil pan--BUT NOT TO MUCH WIDER--AS YOU WON=92T BE ABLE TO WORK!!------next--place the piece of wood on the jack and place the jack under the oil pan-----THE PIECE OF WOOD MUST BE WIDER THAN THE OIL PAN!!----pump the jack---and bring the piece of wood up to the oil pan when the wood just touches the oil pan STOP pumping-----now!-----next to the tire and under the exhaust manifold you=92ll see a piece of rubber approx, 3in. thick-----this is the engine mount------remove the bolt from this piece of rubber----this bolt conects the mount to the chassis-----now!! return to the jack and wood under the oil pan-------Jack up the engine VERY SLOWLY------you=92ll see the engine rise------After the engine rises approx 3 in. stop pumping------now the engine should be high enough for you to work------if not-----pump jack----until engine rises another 1-2 in.------now return under the car and remove the bolts holding the mount to the engine block-------replace with new mount and let the egine down SLOWLY---replace that big bolt holding the mount to the chassis that you first removed-----and your done-----THIS IS DAGEROUS WORK!!!
