2001 Cadillac Catera Engine Mount Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the left engine mount on 2001 Cadillac Catera?

  A: The left engine mount replacement process begins by installing Engine Support Fixture (J 28467-360) followed by slightly lifting the engine to reduce the mount tension. First lift the vehicle and suspend it while removing the engine mount lower nut then proceed with engine mount upper nut and engine mount bracket nut uninstallation. Note down the guide pin position during engine mount removal after removing the engine mount bracket. During installation position the engine mount guide pin correctly within the guide hole of the engine front crossmember frame. After mounting the engine bracket together with the engine mount you must tighten the bracket bolts to 55 Nm (48 ft. lbs.). The engine mount lower nut must now be installed before tightening it to 55 Nm (41 ft. lbs.) followed by lowering the vehicle. The Engine Support Fixture (J 28467-360) enables proper engine lowering to its original position before removing the fixture. After raising the vehicle once more install the engine mount upper nut while tightening it to 40 Nm (30 ft. lbs.) before lowering the vehicle finally. The Lift Brackets (J 36857) serve as another option to support the vehicle during this operation.
