Changing mounts without hoisting?

Featured Replies

Is there any way to do that? I did on my previous car, a 95 Altima, using 3 jacks and 4 friends (:grin:). Put some wooden blocks onto the jacks as to not damage the engine and tranny. Lifting was easy, positioning it back in place was a major pain, but in between 3 jacks--on on the front, 2 on each side--we managed.

 

Can something like that be done on a 98 OBW?

Yes, very easy, the trick is to replace only one mount at a time and use a prybar to wiggle the engine/mounts around where you need them to be.

I like the prybar idea! Any suggestions on jack(s) placement when you do it?

place the jack under the tranny diff, undo the motor mount studs from the crossmember, remove the pitch bar. you can raise the motor up 2-3 inches. you can leave the exhaust pipe cnnected
