37silverstreak Posted July 5 Report Posted July 5 Hey everyone, It's me again. Now that I have a reconditioned intake/exhaust manifold and new timing chain, sprockets and seal installed, it's time to tackle the engine mounts. I got the front one replaced no problem and went to start on the rears but I've hit a snag. It appears that the upper mount washer is attached to the spacer that goes through the upper and lower mounts. How do you get enough clearance to remove the mount? What am I missing? Any tips? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Quote
Solution Sam Buchanan Posted July 5 Solution Report Posted July 5 (edited) The washer and spacer are separate pieces. In your case they may have become corroded and stuck together. You might try removing the lower mount so you can get a vice grip on the spacer so you can work it loose. Edited July 5 by Sam Buchanan Quote
37silverstreak Posted July 6 Author Report Posted July 6 Thanks for the reply! The upper washer and the spacer were definetly a one piece unit, but not anymore! I took my sawzall and metal cutting blade and converted to a two piece design!! I used some washers to make up for the loss of the cut. New mount is in and hopefully the other side will be easier. Thanks for you help! Quote
