I highly recommend that all Acura owners join and use the forums. I have learned a tremendous amount from all of the users on there.

to lift the engine you will need a jack and a block of wood. put the wood (2x4 or 2x6 is sufficient) on top of the jack lift. Jack up the jack with the wood on top under the oil pan. The reason you use the wood is to disperse the weight so that the jack doesn't puncture the oil pan. You don't have to lift it up much at all. Just enough to take the weight/pressure off of the motor mounts.

May I make a suggestion? While KZfaq is great for having a lot of these 'how to' videos, it gets VERY frustrating when you need something specific, and all these videos have generic titles. Since so many vehicles are different year to year, and model to model, even within the same manufacturer, "How to replace a Motor Mount or Transmission Mount" really doesn't tell me anything. "Replacing a motor/transmission mount, Ford/GM/Toyota?Hyundai, etc 02-09" would tell us everything we need. I have a 1997 Cadillac Eldorado, which is specifically what I searched for, so why am i here? Because there's a whole list with the same generic title you used, and I have to look through every one of them to find what I need. Thanks.

I am happy to see this. I diagnosed the problem by watching eric the car guys video on diagnosing suspension noises...noticed...hmmmm. That's what my car is doing and I already knew my engine mount seemed to need replacing but didn't know that was the cause of the metal on metal action in my front end. With this video I will save a ton of money. THANKS!!

Just finished replacing the passenger side engine mount on a Honda 2000 Odyssey. A few observations. If a mount is severely damaged things are not going to exactly line up when you reassemble. My mount was completely blown. The video shows the removal of the aluminum bracket piece from the engine. This is certainly easier than trying to move the mount around that piece. Before you remove a piece other than the mount look to see if that piece is adjustable. My bracket had elongated holes that the bolts passed through to the engine block. (You can verify if yours is elongated by loosening and removing only one bolt. The other bolt will maintain the orientation of the bracket to the engine.) I looked closely and notice a slight skew of the bracket relative to the engine. I used a knife blade to scribe the angle before I removed it and the engine mount. Reassembly: I slide the mount into the bracket but did not insert the bolt through mount when I re-installed them First, I aligned the bracket to the scribe mark and tightened securely. Secondly, I had to pull on the engine to get the first hole lined up while someone else inserted the bolt and tightened finger tight. Next, I pushed, pulled, and pried to get the others lined up and inserted the bolts. I inserted and tightened the through bolt then I then lowered the jack, letting the engine rest on the mount and tightened the mount bolts securely. Good luck

how do I lift the engine? where exactly can I put my car jack to lift it?

You do not need to remove engine bracket for mount to unbolt and remove. Also remove that power steering reservoir (red cap). It slides upwards (it is not bolted by factory) and put it aside making space for that front bolt to be removed. You just need three bolts to remove (center one on top included and no bolts from bracket to the engine). the whole work should take 20-30 minutes per mount. It took me 13 hours on Mazda miata due to tight spaces and assembly required under steering shaft.

for the front mount your gonna have to remove radiator fans, panel underneath car, and loosen side passenger mount bolts for engine to move up and down with jack. also a few other minor stuff. there is a pretty accurate post on acurazine for the front mount.

I would check the side one on your own if that looks good then gold off on replacing them. The mount in the back is really difficult to get to and will cost you good amount of money

01 Pontiac Grand Prix. What is a decent motor mount that won't break the bank? Everybody on the internet is saying that anchor and DEA are junk. I am not looking to spend $80 at the general motors dealership. I am not real hard on my car will a anchor or DEA Mount be good enough for me?

Beautiful exactly what I needed to see to do it myself

Do you know what size bolts those are? I'm thinking I might go grab a gear wrench - especially to get that front-facing bolt on the front mount, and the third bolt on the side of the passenger side motor mount. Looks like you had some difficulty with those!

My understanding is to jack up the engine on the oil pan using a piece of plywood between the jack and pan.

how did you know that your motor mounts were shot, I have a 2007 acura tl type s and its shakes-vibrates on acceleration did you have any issues like this?

What is the part called or part number for the bracket on 4:24. The bolts hold together two brackets. One bracket is sitting on another. I wanted to know the part number for the bottom bracket?

Hi is the engine mount is the same as the engine brackets?

I don't know if you are a mechanic but you sure are not a demonstration video producer.....Where is the info you are trying to give. You give none except to those who already know. Verbally explain and show each part and explain...... What car are you working on..... Year...Engine size and description so dummies can understand.

how do you change the front motor mount on a 2001 VW passat cant find a video on this is there one

Yeah my friend found one on ebay for for 60. but i dont know about it considering its made in taiwan or something. So im debating buying it, dont want to spend 60 and have it break

how hight should i lift up the car?

hey, thanks for the video, your acura tl is exactly like inside my honda accord. did you have to jack up the engine? if so how far up would i have to jack up and preparations do i need to do including tools before the replacement?

2x4 under the oil pan

need to replace a rear motor mount on my Toyota camry 1995 V6 anyone know if there is any video on youtube

changing my side mount in 2-3 days hope it didnt fuck up my front mount while the side was busted.. and caused extra stressed on the front. fingers cross*

I don't remember what I Payed for the front mount but it was less the 200, I think it was about 120 or so

Do I need to put support under the engine??

Where exactly do you lift the engine from? Please let me know. Thanks.

did you install the OEM or the aftermarket?? I seen on ebay the set of 3 are 127 that buying the OEM all together like 300

hello, where are the motor mounts located in a 2002 Audi a6 and are they difficult to replace yourself without taking it to a repair shop?

i dont even think taking this mount off would require support because it has other mounts and its still laying on the frame but im not 100% sure.

So how'd you lift the engine? and from where?

What tool did you use to unscrew it?

If the bolt breaks in there how would you get it out?

The damn front motor mount isnt even listed by acura. All they have in their database is front- left, rear, and tranny mount. I had to go look at a diagram of the engine to find the part number. And it turns out to be about 200 dollars. Looks like im stuck with less torque.

Where exactly do you lift the engine from? I need to know

Good instructions

I replaced 4 out of 5 engine mounts on my 2004 Honda Odyssey, this is not a job for an amateur! My passenger front mount is now misaligned, and my power steering is noisy and leaking thru the top of the reservoir. I still have replace the rear engine mount, since I already hosed up the front passenger side one. Yes, easy to remove mounts, but don't kid yourself with out the proper support, the motor will move and misalign, and good luck with that. Now my car is in the shop being assessed. This video is misleading, don't try it unless you work in a shop.

how much did the mount cost u ? It cost me 70 bucks>>

I have a 2006 Acura TL (automatic) does anyone know if the rear motor mount has a vacuum hose or not

oemacuraparts. com This site is the site that most dealers get their parts from. it's usually about 20% cheaper than the dealer.

Nice .. This video help me :)

man the dealer wants $1200 to do this.😁

The lack of how to explanation is disappointing. Moving on to another video 👎

What a waste of time.

You don’t even know what you’re doing

to lift the engine you will need a jack and a block of wood. put the wood (2x4 or 2x6 is sufficient) on top of the jack lift. Jack up the jack with the wood on top under the oil pan.
