WIALERO · 02-14-2013, 07:43 PM

Well i was wondering where i could get a motor mount i only see 100 the ones that connect on the car not on the block latelyy ive been feeling alotta vibration from the motor and i seen where the mount connects to the block under the power steering pully is cracked but still holding i can send a picture threw email or txt since my phone will not let me upload on here but what would be the easiest way to replace it? And how much?

It's pretty simple to replace. Get a jack and a block of wood, put it under the oil pan jack it up till the block is firm on the pan (it doesn't take much, to much pressure while the mount is still in you will probably crack the pan, so be cautious). Take out the bolts that hold the coolant resivoir to the body of the car, you can keep it connected and tilt out of the way without losing coolant, I did it before. (Makes it easier to get to) and also the 2 bolts that connect the mount to the body of the car. And the two bolts that hold the motor to the mount. its pretty simple. And well I wouldn't replace it with a stock one. I'd get a MMS one, its only 75-100$

Here's a little demonstration from when I changed mine, you can see the coolant bottle is moved, but still connected with fluid in it.

no need to take off the coolant reservoir. Just take the cruise control module out and bam....it's right there.

You gotta move the resivoir to get to the bolt for the CC module... At least I had to cause it was right under it.

Hold on....are you talking about removing the whole CC bracket? Cause if so that's not necessary. You can just pop the cruise control module out of the bracket by taking that little metal bar that goes over it off and then moving the module to the side. Not a big deal just wanted to point it out for him to make it a little easier.....not that taking the coolant bottle off is hard but the less you have to do the better

Yeah, just undo the metal strap holding on the CC box, then lift the box out of the way. No need to disconnect it.

Don't remove the cables. I did and it never worked again. Had to go to the junkyard and buy a new/used one. At least it was only $10

sleepyalero · 02-15-2013, 04:22 PM

I didn't take the plug out or anything, I just set it aside with everything connected
