Motor mount installation
Sunday, July 18, 2010 11:15 AM
When my package comes with my TTR upper and lower mounts does anyone have any tips for putting them in? also would it be a good idea to take pictures for future reference on this subject because the posts i found searching are all old and have broken links...could be a good reference for others...

nonetheless im still going to get them in with the help of a friend (using tools lol) just wanted a heads up on anyone that caught a snag while doing theirs.

if you cant install them by looking at them....step away from the vehicle and think hard, then think again.......then you should start realizing should NOT be near a vehicle

Yeah, the upper mounts seems mindless. But as i can not see the lower mount or have not got under there to look yet i was wondering if it really is as simple as it seems...haha
(i guess so then)

take out two bolts.
pull out old mount
soap up the new mount
insert
put two bolts back in

that's how you install a part that only has two bolts.

this was right in one of the performance stickies, the only thing they left out was soaping it up makes it easier to slide it in.

TRans mounts arent to bad. A little more involved then the engine mounts though and isnt the easiest unless you have a press or a large vice

no problem, your'e problem gonna wanna hit those two bolts with some wd40 as they can be a pain in the ass to break loose. but all in all it should only be about a twenty minute process. it was a bigger pain in the ass to take off the wheel well liner lol
