October 3, 201015 yr When pulling the engine is it necessary to remove the engine to mount bolts or can I just pull the crossmember bolt and pull the engine mounts out with the engine? The rearward engine mount bolt seems a bit difficult to access; looks like it's between the crossmember. Also, whats a good bolt hole to lift from in front that will provide the best balance. There's a rear lifting eye but nothing in front.
October 3, 201015 yr You can just remove the nuts holding the mounts to the crossmember and pull the mounts out with the engine. You can use the bracket the AC is connected to. I've removed the bracket before and just attached the chain to one of those larger bolts holding that bracket.
