How 'easy' to replace the engine mounts? DIY or garage job?
Discussion
Hello to all,
As title of post, how easy is it (or not) to replace the engine mounts at home? or is this a Garage job?
I have axle stands, jacks etc, tools. Also, is it a 'one man' job?
Nearside one has failed, resulting torque at full throttle caused the engine to 'twist' (I could feel the gear lever moving hard to the right in my hand!) causing the tensioner and belt to eat its way through the swirl pot and dump all my coolant in about 2 seconds! luckily I stopped and switched off before any damage.....
Cheers.
Ian.
