Re: motor mounts

Doug,
the front and rear mounts are a piece of cake (be sure to leave them off for when you do the
driver/passenger mounts, since the engine goes all over the place).
passenger side - remove all belts (including timing), unbolt mount from frame while supporting under
oil pan with jack. raise engine to get to top bracket bolts, lower to get to lower bolts. then lower
engine a bit more to get bracket out, replace after new mount pressed.
driver side - remove lower tie bar (so you can drop the engine enough to clear bolts of frame),
remove battery, support tranny with jack, unbolt from frame, lower tranny enough to slide bracket
retaining bolts out, remove ground strap, replace after new mount pressed.
did this last weekend to the rieger

Subject: motor mounts


> so does anybody have a tech page up on how to change all the motor mounts in a 16V?  i just got
all four in from TT and am planning on doing them friday and saturday.  The only one i've ever done
is the rear, which is pretty easy.  It's the others i may need some guidance on.  So if anybody has
a page up, let me know as it would be a great help.  If not, could some one give me a brief run
through in an email?  oh, and i have a local machine shop that is willing to press in the mounts for
me, so i won't be doing that myself.  TIA
