16717, Engine Mount Removal
Posted by bedlam32570, Mar-07-02 09:07 AM
During replacement of the Head Gasket, I ran into the problem of getting the Engine Mount off. I can't seem to get the clearance to get it by the front timing belt cover. Any suggestions????

Just keep trying. Bending those PS lines helps, too.. That thing is a bitch to get out.

We ended up bending those lines out of the way a bit, and breaking off the top part of the timing belt cover to get it out.

All I have to say about that is it took 2 F****ING hours of bitching cursing, along with jacking the engine up, then back down, bending crap outta of the way, and breaking other stuff before that thing finally came out. It's a pain in the rear.

well i don't want to break anything and i got tired of messing with it. A few cut fingers and cuts on my hands were enough to stop me for today. i have the front motor mount also removed so i'll see if it'll work tomorrow. i want this done so i can get my car on the road. things keep pissing me off lately cause i just saw today that someone shot my taillight with a BB gun. i was getting 60 for them and now i just lost some money. I hope those people get something worse done to their car
