2007 Cadillac Escalade EXT Engine Mount Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to replace the right side engine mount for RPOs LC9/LMG/LY5/L76/L92 on 2007 Cadillac Escalade EXT?

  A: The first step to replace the right side Engine Mount (1500 w/RPOs LC9/LMG/LY5/L76/L92) is disassembly of the air cleaner outlet duct. Before starting replacement of the Engine Mount on vehicles with four wheel drive systems customers must detach both front drive axle components with their brackets. The first step involves removing two components: Exhaust Manifold together with the air conditioning (A/C) compressor bracket. Before removing the Engine Mount to frame bolts you must avoid lifting the engine with the crankshaft balancer or Oil Pan since this is unsafe. Insert an adjustable screw-type jack at the engine block tab before you remove the Engine Mount to engine bolts while entering through the wheelhouse opening. Adjust the jack up slightly to create enough space for getting rid of the Engine Mount. After positioning the Engine Mount towards the engine continue by installing the Engine Mount to engine bolts through the wheelhouse opening and secure these fasteners to 50 n.m (37 lb ft). Lower the engine after the Engine Mount becomes parallel with the frame followed by adjustable jack removal. Begin by tightening the angle of the Engine Mount to frame bolts to 65 n.m (48 lb ft). Start by screwing the middle bolt first then move to the side bolts. Reinstall the a/c compressor bracket while four-wheel drive vehicles require installation of front drive axle bracket and its corresponding bolts. Tighten these elements to 90 n.m (67 lb ft) and after that reinstall the front drive axle. Finally, reinstall the Exhaust Manifold.
