I have read a couple of posts on this subject but was hoping someone could give me some additional advice. I plan on replacing the front engine mount in my 96 4 cylinder automatic Camry. I purchased the Factory Service Manual from Toyota but there is suprising little information on how to replace it.
The process seems straight forward.
- Support engine
- Remove 3 bolts securing insulator to the front crossmember
- Remove bolt on top of insulator connecting it to the bracket.
However one of the bolts, the one closest to the radiator, securing the insulator to the crossmenber appears to be screwed in from the bottom. Do I need to put the car on some ramps and remove the plastic engine cover to access this bolt or can I do it from above without jacking up the car?
Any other advice or hidden gotchas would be greatly appreciated.
