You're a legend mate. Replaced both my engine mounts today thanks to watching this video. Grabbed the uni joint, extension bar and 18mm socket. For those without an impact gun, don't panic. I did mine with 13mm and 15mm ratchet spanners with a pipe for a breaker bar. WD40 is a must. Thank so much FordMercGuy!

No dramas legend!! Yes doable without an impact, long pipe helps with leverage for sure. Cheers again mate 👊 👊 glad the video was of help

If you’re doing this on an AU or coil pack car you will have to take off the coil pack and leads first, what fun! I cracked the top nut just with grunt and swearing, they cracked pretty easy, no need for a rattle gun.

Remove the Air Box completely... there are only 3 little bolts(8mm socket) holding it on. Then you can get a breaker bar on the top bolt of the engine mount to release it (I tried the uni-joint socket method and ending up just destroying the socket) For the side nut, take off the oil filter completely (after draining the oil). It makes getting to it with a breaker bar from the top way easier.

Be careful using the sump as your jacking point and impact guns are best matched with impact sockets & extension bars as they will break. Great result regardless, saved $$$, you know it is done properly plus the beer or smoke when your finished always tastes twice as good.

The Ozito comes with a 13mm impact. The $199 ozito comes with 10 impact sockets 4.0 ah battery and a 5 yr warrenty 3 on battery. You can also do the front brakes on Falcons and Territories and use it on 21mm hex standard ford scissor jacks. Good bit of kit
