• From under the car, loosen the bottom engine mount nuts. Leave the passenger side nut in place, but loose. Removed the driver’s side nut completely.

Driver’s Side


Passenger’s Side


Access the nuts though the holes in the control arms.


• Remove hose clamp from engine intake boot. This prevents tearing of the boot when engine is lifted.

• Gently and slowly jack the engine up using a piece of wood on the jack to distribute wieght evenly on the oil pan. Make sure no wires or hoses are binding as you lift the engine. By keeping the nuts on the passeneger side mount, the engine assembly with rotate as you lift it. I found this way easier than trying to lift the engine evenly on both sides.

Jacking engine up.


• Remove and replace the driver’s side engine mount. Gently lower the engine back down onto the new engine mount, making sure the mount is properly lined up so you don’t damage the threads. I needed a long pipe to slightly lever the engine into position. There is a locating pin/hole to line up. See picture. Start the nuts on the threads, but don’t tighten them.
