Hello all. I am trying to remove the left motor mount on a 95 eclipse GS NT. I am having trouble as there is not enough room to remove the bolts. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have all the bolts loose and the engine is supported from underneath with a jack. The bolts are just to long but the book says that you can do this without removing the engine. Any help? Thanks a lot.

 

whats engine and whats in the way?

dur...i totally missed the GS NT part

 

to take out the 420a motor, must remove manifold, tranny, oilpan n filter, i think u have to loosein timing belt. right tire, think control arms, trans axles. n other misc..

 

forgot about crossmember, battery holder, clutch cables, starter, altinater,

 

dude hes not takin out the engine, hes just takin out the motor mount....tranvin77, you have a manual, like a Haynes or a Chilton? if not get one. i believe you have to take something out to take that one out. i would look in my book for you but im out of town and the book is 400 mi away. im sure one someone will let you know about it b4 i get home but if not ill let you know.

 

o lol. sry. read it wrong

 

sometimes you gotta jack the engine up a little higher .. loosen all the of th bolts from the side of the motor and either let the jack way down or way up sometimes gives you room ot get a couple out, the rest have to come out with the mount , as long as theyre uscrewed all the way
if you still dont have room your car mighta been wrecked at one time

 

if you plan on pullin the timing cover off get that loose first, makes it alot easier

 

I have the book but it just says to remove the motor mount. I fully unbolted all 3 bolts but there is not enough room to remove them as they hit the fenderwell. I tried jacking the engine up but still no luck. How far can I jack the engine and still not break anything? Thanks for the help.
