Replace Td5 engine mounts - HOW TO
its from a defender, but it should be pretty much the same
Master
SubscriberHi All,
After recently having had my auto replaced, the mechanic told me that the engine mounts where shot and should be replaced (he did the trans in one day and didn't have time to do the engine mounts as well). Is this something that I could do myself easily or does it require special tools, hoist etc?
Cheers,
Nova

which engine.
its about a 3/5 spanners if you have a good tool set and support gear (jacks, engine crane.)

SubscriberOops, forgot to mention engine. It's a TD5.
I have some half decent tools, but I figured that it may require an engine crane or something to lift the engine/trans clear of the old mounts. The second part would be the sticking point, one bottle jack under the sump probably won't cut it.

not really but in a pinch.....
half decent tools also doesnt fit my description for cutting it either.
it is a good excuse to buy new toosl and make new friends however.... And at the heart of it, thats what this forum is all about.

You need to one side before the other and while the first one is out do the other then back to the first. Having one side dropped down allows the clearance needed to remove the other.

I did mine one at a time and agree that it would have been easier to do them both at the same time.
A single jack under the sump is fine - as long as you have a suitable block of wood to spread the load over a big area.
Apart from a 15mm hex socket to get the lower nuts loosened, a standard socket set and spanners is all I used.
The old mounts come out easily. The new ones require a bit of jiggling and squeezing and a bit more jackingup to get them in.
