Replacing front motor mount 05 Civic
The dealer told me the front motor mount in my sons's 05 Honda Civic EX 1.7 has a crack in the rubber insert and needs to be replaced ($237). The car has 102K. I bought a mount at Discount Auto for about $30 but have been unable to verify the torque setting for the 3 bolts I need to tighten. The clerk at DA had no info on that and was not mentioned either in the service manual he looked in. As far as replacing it, this is what I need to do?:
Drive up ramps
Use jack with 2x4 to spread out weight and to support engine
Remove the 3 bolts (one thru bolt, two engine block)
Remove mount
Install new mount and torque to specs
Lower jack
Finito!
If someone could please tell me the torque settings and if I'm correct with the procedure.
Thanks for any help!

Your specs were pretty close but i gave the Honda dealership a call anyway. The tech said 47lbs for the two 17mm mounting bolts and 54 Lbs for the 17 mm thru bolt.

It's true, the heads on the bolts are 17mm, but the shaft of the bolts are 12mm.
Also, the torque spec for those two mounting bolts as well as the through-bolt are all 47 lbs, according to the Helm's service manual published by Honda Motor Company.
Regardless, you got the job done. That's all that matters.

Ah, the car is an automatic. Manuals have three mounting bolts. Two with 17mm heads, and one with a 14mm head.
It's true, the heads on the bolts are 17mm, but the shaft of the bolts are 12mm.
Also, the torque spec for those two mounting bolts as well as the through-bolt are all 47 lbs, according to the Helm's service manual published by Honda Motor Company.
