Removal Procedure

1. Remove the 2 engine mount-to-midrail bracket fasteners.
2. Place a floor jack under the engine oil pan. Use a block of wood between the oil pan and jack. Raise the powertrain just enough to unload the mount. The engine is raised enough when there is clearance between the mount and the midrail bracket.





Notice

If the engine mount front cover stud turns or comes out during nut removal, the stud must be fully installed prior to installing the mount and/or nut. Damage to the front cover may occur if the stud is driven with the nut and does not sufficiently engage the front cover threads.

3. Remove the 3 engine mount-to-front cover fasteners, and remove the engine mount.
