Thread: Replacing 4BD1 engine mounts?

Can i just undo both mounts jack the engine up (support it safely etc) and then replace the mount/s. Or is it bigger than i realise? Any tricks?


EDIT, I found that the mount was bad when i started the car in first with the handbrake on (like a fool).. it pushed the engine forward on the left, and lifted the gearbox, and showed about 2cm of new tailshaft :P, I then hobbled home with 1st 3rd and 5th as the others i couldnt change too as it was fouling on the tin :P (that adventure is half the fun).

They are easy enough to source and replace ozeraser. Do you have the part number for the left one? - it is different to the rh one. To replace, pretty much as you say - undo the 3 bolts, jack it up and replace.

Part numbers are in the 'Isuzu Parts Sticky'

ie
LH Eng mount Isuzu part no: 5532150320 Don Kyatt no: 2Y3112

Gday yeah thanks mates Found the part numbers but thanks for putting them in the thread as well. I was trying to find the landrover version not the truck version but beggars cant be choosers. (although i have a source for some maybe)

The rubber mounts are the same for trucks and land rovers, only the steel mounts that bolt to the engine are different.

I see... I say this because...

showed different mounts the LR one has added bits.

In addition here is what my mount looks like at the moment.

Just FYI for future readers etc.

I stand corrected on the mounts. I think the hole spacings are the same.

So i found some of the landrover Isuzu mounts

For those who are intrested here is a short clip showing where the mounts are bad.

I jack the truck up to release the tension on the mounts and the pop back to their correct position.

I have started undoing the current mounts, although the top side is real hard to get to, one side some oil line and other side injector pump. also they are castle nuts for some reason but i dont think they have a split pin or anything.

I made some of my own penetrating oil which was ATV and acetons 50/50 to try and loosen them up.
