Re: rear motor mount replacement
I typically will do the following... With the front end off the ground and properly supported (or you can have it up on ramps), place a jack with a board under the oil pan so it applies a little pressure. Remove the top left motor mount (the one you would remove for t-belt replacement). Next remove the single bolt that goes through the rear motor mount and bracket.1 Next remove the rear motor mount to sub-frame bolts. If you then adjust the jack either up or down you should be able to remove the rear mount. Reinstall in reverse order. Note that sometimes the engine will shift a little so getting the rear mount back in may take a little time. Be sure to have a pry bar or two to assist you in adjusting the engine so you can get the rear mount in a bit quicker.
The above post is from another affiliated forum (IB) I also moderate. That user works as a Honda tech.
Attached are some instruction illustrations to go with it.

Re: rear motor mount replacement
Thanks a bunch. To be clear, do you remove the large bracket attaching the upper mount bolt to the engine? If not it seems you need to raise the engine quite a bit to clear that top bolt.

Re: rear motor mount replacement
My experience: the front right (transmission), front, front left are all straightforward. The rear is a beast (at least for me) and that is where I am stuck and would love detailed directions.

The other person’s multiple off topic thread jacking posts have been removed.
You were already given detail information. That bolt on the rear motor mount is part of the mount. After the nut is removed, the rear mount bracket is removed, which clears that rear mount bolt.

Re: rear motor mount replacement
Yes I got it and appreciate it. Perhaps I am a dummy but I am left w/ 2 questions:
1. Are you working completely from below?
2. How do you "clear" the long center bolt, lift the engine OR remove the large aluminum mount-to-engine bracket?
Sorry for being a pest.

2. Attached is a parts diagram.

The following is from another affiliated "Internet Brand" forum:
Just removed and installed a new rear engine mount for my wife's Accord with automatic transmisstion this morning. To make a long story short, this mount cannot be removed from the bottom of the car unless the left drive axle is removed. This was not an option, so I removed the mount from inside of the engine compartment by removing the rear engine mount bracket(s) and the one-piece rubber/plastic air intake assembly. Once the air intake assembly and rear engine mount bracket were removed, there was gobs of room to pull the engine mount out and install the new one. The engine mount bracket must be removed first in order to take out the rear engine mount. It was necesary to place a floor jack w/ block of wood under engine/transmission and elevate slightly to take the weight off of the the engine mount bracket prior to unbolting it from the engine block.

Re: rear motor mount replacement
I have the exact same car 117 thousand miles and going strong. I have to replace the rear engine mount. Do I remove the engine mount to sub frame bolts from the bottom of the car? And then remove the intake and pull the mount up from the front?
