Kenballs 0 Posted February 15, 2006 Hollo everyone, Firstly, I did a search but couldn't find this bit of info, regarding the drivers side top engine mount, is there a nut holding the bottom of the mount or is it threaded into the body of the car, it hard to see or feel what the story is with it. Thanks in advance, Ken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonmurgie 2 Posted February 15, 2006 It's threaded into a captuve nut in the chassis... it can be a bit of a b!tch to get out if your mount starts to come apart as you undo it!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garry 1 Posted February 19, 2006 (edited) Has anybody got any tips for getting the poxy thing off? I have tried an allen key in the top of the nut but the mount just twists without any movement from the bottom thread, there doesn't seem to be a way of getting hold of it. It appears to be rusted so I have flooded it with WD40 Is the only other way to knock the hell out of it with a chisel?

hengti 2 Posted February 19, 2006 They're usually castellated - with steps round the side - just knock it round with a big flat head screwdriver/hammer you can apply the same technique even if it's not castellated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j_turnell 137 3 Cars Posted February 19, 2006 Its really easy get a chisel and a hammer and knock it round using the bottom of the mount, the metal bit, comes off dead easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garry 1 Posted February 21, 2006 Forthe the benefit of anybody trying to do this I did the following: Flooded the mount with WD40 the night before Bought a 250x25mm chisel Hit the mount with chisel and hammer on the side to get it to rotate anti-clockwise and it was off in a few seconds.
