2000 Cadillac Catera Engine Mount Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the engine mount on 2000 Cadillac Catera?

  A: A vehicle needs to be raised and supported prior to performing engine mount servicing jobs. Begin by removing the lower nut from the engine mount and after that lower the vehicle. The support fixture (J 28467-360) should be installed under the engine to provide support as well as raising the engine slightly to release the mount tension. During the engine mount upper nut removal step remember to note the guide pin position. Next, remove the engine mount. Establish the proper position of the engine mount guide pin into the guide hole found on the engine front crossmember frame before installing. Install the engine mount and then the engine mount upper nut while tightening it to 40 Nm (30 ft. lbs.). Leave the engine in position and uninstall the Engine Support Fixture (J 28467-360). The vehicle needs to be raised for another time before installing the engine mount lower nut and tightening it to 55 Nm (41 ft. lbs.) and finally allowing the vehicle to drop. To accomplish this procedure one needs both the Engine Support Fixture (J 28467-360) and Engine Support Fixture Adapter (J 28467-450) and Lift Brackets (J 36857).
