front engine mount replace

[epapp]

Thanks, I'm trying to replace my core with another stock core (the ~35$ one). Makes no sense to replace the whole mount for $150 if I just need new rubber but I dont want to get it out just to find out that I cant pound out/in the old/new mount

You might want to shoot Pedro an email as he has the experience in retrofitting the old front motor mount with a new core.

Install Front Engine Mount

again ,cut it out press new one in. There is an updated mount that pedros recommends rather than reinstalling old style mount.

Just buy the insert, and take the mount to someone with a small press, like a shop or a local alignment place, remove and re-install (aligning the small arrow pointers) and go back home...

or buy the insert cut the old one out with a hacksaw blade and carefully press it in with a vice like I did and never leave the house. Rocket science I know...Its the space shuttle
