Excessive work Posted by Ari [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Upper engine mount removal on 2.3L - correct order?, ben 9kspg, Sun, 5 Feb 2006 13:48:14 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I think you're removing more than necessary.
1 - remove battery negative cable. Always a good idea.
2. Remove single bolt through the middle of the rear mount. (bolt is vertical).
3. Remove single bolt through middle of front mount. I don't remember needing to move the PS fluid reservoir, but if necessary, just slide it up out of the mount and leave it off to the side (hoses still attached).
The dogbone can now be lifted right out. OK, a little twisting. Keep an eye on the MAP sensor just above the rear mount.
If you have the tool, remove and install the mount in the dogbone first. Why? If you're going to practice, practice on something in a vise on the bench, where you're warm, have plenty of light, and won't break anything expensive if a tool slips. Also, if the tool disintegrates (as can happen), you can still bring the dogbone to a shop to have the work done.
Next, do the front bushing with the tool. If things go bad, you can remove the front mount from the engine, but it requires taking off a belt and moving the alternator. Nice to know.
When re-installing the dogbone, don't forget to hook up the ground wire.
