Replacing Body Rubber Mounts

[Bingster]

Has anybody replaced the body to frame rubber mounts one by one? It seems to me - in theory anyway - that if you put the frame up on jacks and then used a hydraulic jack to slightly raise the body frame, you could punch out the old rubber and slide in a new one. Egh?

I replaced mine by taking the body right off the frame. However, I have heard of people doing an entire side at a time. i.e. remove all body to frame bolts on one side and slightly jack up that side to replace the rubbers/bolts and then repeat on the opposite side.

it is best to do it per side..and when finished...be sure to torque to speicification..this is not a hard job..and according to your model..do not over ook the right rear arch for the one mount there to compensate for the torque on acceleration.

Looking to do the same on my 50 biz-coupe, only I have the whole body lifted off the frame. Where do you find those(could use the trans. mount rubbers too).

I didn't replace all my rubber body mounts, only those that were bad and where I replaced the floor brace. Did them one at a time. The old one will just slide out when you remove the bolt, then just put the new one in. I did have that section of floor out when I did it. Got the replacement rubber mounts from Steele Rubber.
