Engine Mount removal...?
Yesterday i tried removing my engine mount so i can fill it with urethane but DAMN, that mofo wouldnt come out. I removed all the nuts from the engine side of the mount, then removed the 2 bolts on the chasis side of the mount... The bolt on the top of the Chasis side of the mount I couldnt get completely out but i got is loose.... But still i couldnt figure out how to wiggle that mount out of there.
I even removed the plastic clamp that anchors the water hose to the mount but still couldnt get her out. Anyone hear know any special tricks to get that thing out?

you have to lower the motor about 2". remove the mount to engine bolts (some won't come all the way out; they're too long). then, remove the mount to chassis bolts. lower the engine 2". then, facing the back of the car, rotate the mount couter-clockwise. some of the bolt holes on the mount to engine interface are actually slots designed to allow removal w/ some of the bolts still more or less in the motor. once you get it out, it will be very obvious to you how it works.

When i lower the engine 2 inches, does that help the mount clear the 4 studs?? cause i lowered it, not sure how far but those damn studs prevented me from rotating the mount and having the last bolt slip out of the slot in the mount bracket.
Other than the 1 water hose bracket on the mount... are there anyother things that connected to the mount?

nothing else attached to the mount. the key is the ccw rotation.

great, guess i didnt lower the engine enough. THanks insite!
Im going to try and replicate the new Pedro engine mount, hes got a street and a race mount, the new street mount is alittle more sturdy than OEM but not as Solid as the first ones he filled with urethane... i believe i have to drill 4 holes into the urethane once its dries, this probably allows it to have alittle more play.

not sure what pedro's looks like. FYI, mine is filled w/ 90 duro (solid). it vibrates a little more than stock at certain RPMs, but very tolerable.
