The first step for left Engine Mount replacement (1500 w/RPO LY2) requires removal of the air cleaner outlet duct. Before continuing the repair it is necessary to remove the front drive axle when your vehicle has four-wheel drive. First lower the vehicle and afterward remove the generator bracket. The next step requires removal of the Engine Mount to frame bolts and a vehicle lift to halfway height. You should remove the left wheelhouse liner while taking care not to support the engine from either the crankshaft balancer or
Oil Pan. To extract the Engine Mount to engine bolts install a screw-type adjustable jack under the engine block tab and access the bolts through the wheelhouse opening. The adjustable jack must be used to elevate the engine just enough to take out the Engine Mount. Install the Engine Mount to its position on the motor before placing it through the wheelhouse opening to put the engine bolts in place. Tighten the bolts to 50 nm (37 lb ft). Lift down the engine until the mount touches the frame flat, then take away the jack. Then install the wheelhouse liner before lowering the automobile while you set the Engine Mount frame bolts into place with a torque of 65 nm (48 lb ft). Start by tightening the center bolt first. Reinstall the generator bracket while performing the front drive axle installation when required. The procedure ends by lowering the vehicle to install the air cleaner outlet duct.
