Replace the rear motor mount on a 96 integra? looks like a pretty tight squeeze all the way around, looking for any help i can get.

 

I used a jack to balance the motor.

 

haha well i got that part. i'm talking about actually getting it off...

 

i took off my manifold to get to mine. its simple, just take out the 17's and 19's and then the 14's that mount it down and your good.

 

Theres should be only 3 bolts on the tranny that connects the mount, and 1 at the motor mount bracket, just take them off and slide it to the left , and it should come out fine.

 

ok, so its pretty simple at that point... but did you remove the bracket and all? or just the mount?

 

i'm referring to the rear motor mount that attaches to the fire wall.

 

i had to do the same thing. i took the motor mount that is connected to it with 17 and 18. once i got that off it was easy and lot of rooom to take it off.

 

If it's a GS-R with stock intake manifold, the rear mount T-bracket is a royal PITA, and so is the intake manifold. When I pulled my engine out, I just unbolted the bracket and let it fall out when I hoisted the engine up. After putting the engine back in, though, I spent at least 2 hours trying to get the bracket back in, and ended up crushing my heater core pipes in the process.

As for the mount itself, I think it would be extremely difficult to remove it w/ the engine and IM still in the car. I replaced mine with the IM removed, and that was even more of a PITA than it was to remove the whole engine.

 

bracket and all.

i did it when i was rebuilding my head so it wasnt as hard, but once the IM is off it should be pretty straight forward

 

so as long as i get the manifold off it shouldnt be a problem.... not like stated earlier in the thread?

 

ttt

 

well when i did it i didnt have much trouble. and it was my first time changing the mount.

 

no lol its a pain the ***.
i put one in my exs gsr, and even after i pulled the im it was still a pian, and i did the same thing patrickgsr94 did, cruched the heater coe pipes.

next time id rather just yank the damn motor.
