my 99 si was hit and it broke the front left engine mount
my question is that do you have to take out the engine or can i just take it off and put a new one back on
ive never messed with the mounts before

 

All 3 engine mounts and both torque mounts can be removed/replaced w/o yanking the motor.

is there anything i need to worry about doing besides just taking the front left one off and putting it back on

 

Just to be 100% clear, which mount are you referring to? Driver's side or passenger side?

Either way, you are going to have to support the engine from the bottom. I usually use a jack and a piece of wood.

 

its the driver side

and what would be the best spot to support the engine

 

?

 

the strongest point of the oil pan is the best to support from the bottom

 

should i use a piece of wood or just put the jack right up on the oil pan

 

bump

 

support it with a jack (if it's wide enough to cover a good part of a pan) or a jack and a piece of wood.

stands could work too but i tried that once and ended up working another transmission mount pretty good :[


edit... don't push the motor up.. just support it.

 

You dont need to support the engine. If you take off the big stupid fluid filled crappy always breaking top drivers side mount, there's still the AC mount holding the motor onto the car.

Take off mount. Put on new mount. Done. You dont even have to lift the car off the ground.

 

thats what i originally thought
they told me the mount was broken on the inside of it

 

if you're just taking off any ONE mount, you really dont need to support the engine. 2 or more mounts, and you need to support the engine with something. I use a book and a jack with a big pad underneath the oil pan. The part that portrudes.

 

ok thanks
