My drivers side engine mount has died and im wondering how hard it would be to replace it myself? would any special tools be needed? Would it be smarter to sent the car off to the mechanics to get it done?
Cheers
James

hey mate u wouldnt believe how ezy it is i had to replace my front right for RWC just put a trolley jack under the diff with a block of wood on it to distribute weight jack it up until the weight is just off the mount unbolt the old engine mount u might have to experiment to get it out by pumpin the jack but not so much that u snap the other mount but so u can get the mount out then once its out put the new one in re bolt up let the jack down and tighten just to make sure

um why would you jack up the diff to change an engine mount? i would have thought maybe the sump or where the motor bolts to the gearbox.

anyway ... in general its easy as to chage the mount ..
trhe only difficulty i always had was aligning the mount (s) again ,,, but that could also be due to the reason that i work with engine cranes and not with trolley jacks ...
just wne u try to jack up the engine under the sump which u shouldnt do in teh first place ... try not to dent it!
