• Q: How to replace the right engine mount and engine mount bracket on 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer?

  A: The starting point for right engine mount and bracket replacement is to disconnect the negative cable from the battery. The j 41240 fan clutch remover and installer (J 41240) should be used to fasten the Water Pump Pulley while the cooling fan hub nut on the water pump shaft requires loosening. Start the repair by disconnecting both MAP Sensor electrical connector and its retainer then move to the MAP Sensor. The right shock module needs to be removed when working with the frame engine mount. The procedure starts with removing upper engine mount nuts from both right and left sides but only after vehicle lift. Then proceed to remove lower engine mount nuts from right and left sides. The technician should detach the engine protection shield mounting bolts and remove the shield carefully while avoiding contact between the oil level sender and the jack resting on the Oil Pan. Position a floor jack underneath the Oil Pan while using a block of wood before lifting the engine to reach the engine mount studs. Begin by removing the right engine mount from its bracket followed by bolting out the bracket and then removing the engine mount bracket itself. You can proceed with removing the right frame engine mount bracket bolts as well as the right frame engine mount bracket. To reassemble the installation process you must replace the right frame engine mount bracket when it was removed along with its bolts rated for a torque of 110 nm (81 ft. Lbs.); after that, torque the bolts to 110 nm (81 ft. Lbs.). Set the right engine mount bracket followed by bolt tightening to 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.) before installing the mount. Lower the engine onto the engine mounts before installing the right and left upper engine mount nuts to a torque of 70 nm (52 ft. Lbs.). After raising the vehicle install the engine protection shield using bolts that need tightening to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). Complete the installation of right and left lower engine mount nuts by torqueing them to 70 nm (52 ft. Lbs.) then lower the vehicle. Reinstall the right shock module and then install the MAP Sensor followed by the MAP Sensor retainer and the electrical connector. The cooling fan hub nut requires attachment to the water pump shaft for assembly. When complete, utilize the j 41240 (J 41240) tool for tightening to 56 nm (41 ft. Lbs.). The last step involves reconnecting the negative cable of the battery.
