Driver- 47lbs-ft, middle bolt- 40lbs-ft
Passenger- bracket bolt and nut- 40lbs-ft
1. First you must jack up the front end of the car as high as your floor jack will allow. Once your car is jacked up, place the jack stands underneath the car on the jack points and lower the car.
2. Once the car is supported by the jack stands you are going to need to use the floor jack to support the motor while your and installing the new mounts. Use a phone book between the oil pan and the floor jack like so.
3. Now that the engine is support we can start unbolting one mount at a time. I started with the sub frame mount.
4. There are a total of 4 bolts on the sub frame mount. 3 on the bottom that attach the mount to the sub frame, and one long bolt that goes through the transmission. Unbolt the 3 bottom bolts first, then unbolt the long bolt that goes through the rubber insert of the stock motor mount. The mount should come out fairly easy unless your header is in the way.
5. When your bolting the new mount on make sure to bolt the 3 bottom sub frame bolts back on first, then proceed to put the long bolt that goes through the poly insert of the new mount. You may have to play around with lowering the floor jack the get the last bolt hole to line up. Now you have the hardest mount out of the way :thumbsup:
6. Next do the driver's side transmission mount. Start by taking the long center bolt that goes through the rubber insert out first.
