Thanks Matt. ... posted by Aaron on September 26, 2003 at 18:13:06: support the engine, then remove all the bolts on the crossmember. drop it out of the way, then pull the mounts out. you're going to have to remove the Y pipe sometime, so just get over that. 10 minutes. If you're unlucky and someone put the bolts on the crossmember in backwards, then you'll have to reach in and remove the rear mount from the block before you can get the crossmember down. that requires a bunch of reaching and grunting. not that big of a deal. When you put it all back together, probably the easiest way to do it is to drop the engine down about an inch... bolt the mounts onto the block, then bolt the back 2 bolts on the crossmember in.. now tilt the x member up and attach the two rear mount bolts. push the x member up and connect the front mount bolts.. you'll probably have to jack up the engine to do that though.. once you get it on, slowly jack the engine back up until you can hand-thread the front crossmember bolts in. when all the bolts are in, then and ONLY then should you begin to tighten everything up. If you don't, you'll tighten, loosen, tighten, loosen all day long. Replys: I see. Where exactly did you support the engine? --> Aaron (92 SE Auto) 18:39:45 9/26/2003 (3) Yup.. board under oil pan. works great --> Matt (93SE) 18:53:16 9/26/2003 (2) Oh yeah, I'm doing my tranny mounts too. They might be a different story. n/m Aaron (92 SE Auto) 19:03:27 9/26/2003 (1) Nope.. swap the engine mounts, then you can pull the tranny mounts one at a time and swap them --> Matt (93SE) 20:00:56 9/26/2003 (0)
