1. To start off your going to loosen your wheel lugs slightly
2. Begin to lift the cars front driver side wheel by its proper lifting point with the floor jack.
3. Once the vehicle is raised place the jack stand under the vehicles lift point and gently lower it onto the stand.
4.completely loosen and remove the wheel lugs and finally remove the wheel and set it underneath the vehicles rocker panel for safety.

5. Once the vehicle is raised begin to loosen the motor mounts center cross bolt using your breaker bar and extensions.




6. Using the floor jack you can gently raise the engine from its transmission case to be able to remove the load from the center cross bolt and remove it. I used the part where the differential is located since it seems to be the sturdiest point.


7. Once the center cross bolt is out remove the clips of the under body plastics in order to remove the bolt (1) and nuts (3) of the motor mount from underneath the vehicle.

8. With everything loose you will want to remove your battery to gain better access to the rear motor mount.

9. Your going to have to get creative at this point, move the mount as needed in order for you to slip the inserts in them.
10. Use liquid soap as a lubricant on the motor mount inserts to slip the mounts into place.

11. Wedge both lower ends of the mount in the shape of a V inside the mount and in between the tranny support.

12.Using your extension and a rubber mallet you can bang the lower part of the mount to help wedge the inserts completely in between the mount.

13. Once the mounts are in you can begin bolting up the rear.
Using the floor jack gentle jack up the engine from the transmission case in order to get the center cross bolt in its place.
14. Tighten all remaining bolts, re mount the batter, bolt up the wheel, lower the car and torque the lugs to 79 ft lbs.
15.Be sure to go over all the areas you worked on to ensure everything is properly secured in its place.
