Lower Engine Mount

[smithy 1]

my lower engine mount is knackered and was wondering if it can be removed and refitted in to alloy housing in situ,if so hows the best way to tackle it?

 

tried a search but it not working for some reason.

 

standard 1.9 8 valve engine.

It can be, but it's not very easy.

If you don't want to pay the BBM price, a slight upgrade is a diesel 205 bush.

it can be done, but easier to take it off, can i also recommend uprating the lower mout esecially, search for grp n mounts, not cheap but will transform the car

cheapest i have found is here

I have a couple of alloy mounts with the bushes ready cut out. If you want to have your choice of new bush posted direct to me, I will press it in to the housing and post it to you for a small fee plus post cost. Then you can bolt the mount complete with new bush straight on.

I've done it twice now in situ.

Both times it's been very little hassle and taken around 60 mins max.
