I am getting ready to install all the A/C parts I have gathered/ordered from Honda, and would like to remove and paint the lower motor mount/A/C mount before installing everything.
The service manual goes over removing it; but does not say anything about needing to support the motor. I do not want to put a lot of stress on the upper mount. Do you all usually put a jack or other support under the motor when removing the lower mount?
Thanks!

 

you can just lower the upper driver mount and be fine, if worried get a jack and a block of wood and support it under the oil pan

 

Thanks. Sounds like a good idea to support it and not put too much stress on the upper mount.

 

Good suggestion...

 

I just jacked up at that lower brace

 

The two upper mounts (trans and driver side) and rear mount are what hold up the engine. The lower mounts are just suspension/vibration mounts. No need to support the engine with a jack when replacing them.

 

correct.
