    Changing engine mounts

    Never done this before on any vehicle !! Is it a matter of undoing the nuts, then jacking up engine/gearbox with a lump of wood between Jack and engine, put stands under instead of jack then try to replace the mounts ?

    Any tips welcome.

    Cheers

    Pretty much. Its a bit fiddly on some of them. Long time since I've done it, but I remember it as being pretty easy. Some of the nuts are a bit hard to get at, and for some it is easier to remove the bracket as well, but I don't remember which one.

    If you only remove one at a time, you don't need to replace the jack with a stand - the engine/gearbox, between the crossmember and the other three mounts, it isn't going to drop far - just keep your fingers where they won't get hurt if it does. A good safety device would be a wooden wedge between the flywheel housing and the crossmember rather than a stand.

    Thanks John, I never even thought about using the gearbox cross member to hold it up, that's a great idea !!
