Upper Mount

REMOVAL
1. Remove engine air intake resonators.
2. Install three bar engine support D88L-6000-A, or equivalent, to existing engine lifting eyes and support engine.
3. Remove the front engine support self-locking nuts and discard nuts.

NOTE: Engine support nuts are self-locking and must be replaced with new self-locking nuts when serviced.

4. Remove upper front engine support bracket from vehicle.
5. Remove radiator coolant recovery reservoir bolts and position radiator coolant recovery reservoir aside to allow clearance for upper front engine support insulator removal.

6. Remove front engine support insulator bolts, then insulator from righthand front fender apron.

INSTALLATION

CAUTION: If upper front engine support insulator or front engine support bracket has been removed, engine and transaxle position must be realigned to front subframe. Failure to realign engine and transaxle may result in possible component damage.

1. Raise and support vehicle, then remove two front subframe through bolt bolts and lefthand front engine support insulator.

Fig. 2 Powertrain alignment gauge tool installation:

2. Install powertrain alignment gauge T94P-6000-AH, or equivalent, to transaxle bracket and front subframe.
3. Tighten vertical and through bolts. Loosen righthand front engine support insulator through bolt, then lower vehicle.
4. Position power steering hose bracket and return hose onto upper front support insulator, then install upper front engine support insulator and bolts to righthand front fender apron. Install radiator coolant recovery reservoir.
5. Install upper front engine support bracket onto engine and upper front engine support insulator.
6. Tighten new self-locking upper front engine support bracket nuts.

NOTE: Engine support nuts are self-locking and must be replaced with new self-locking nuts when serviced.

7. Remove engine support tool, then tighten upper front engine support bracket nuts.
8. Raise and support vehicle, then observe position of righthand front engine support insulator. Insulator must be centered in transaxle bracket and in perfect front-to-rear alignment.
9. Tighten righthand front engine support insulator through bolt.
10. Remove three gauge tool bolts and gauge tool.
11. Install lefthand front engine support insulator to front subframe with two bolts, then torque bolts to 7 ft lb. Observe insulator to ensure perfect front-to-rear alignment, then torque bolts to 30-40 ft lb.
12. Install and tighten lefthand front engine support insulator through bolt.
13. Install engine air intake resonators.
14. Fill power steering system.
15. Run engine and check for leaks.
