• Q: How to replace the right side engine mount on 2009 Cadillac Escalade?

  A: The first process when replacing the right side Engine Mount requires complete removal of the air cleaner outlet duct. To replace the Engine Mount owners should first separate the vehicles front drive axle along with its bracket bolts and bracket if they have four wheel drive. The Exhaust Manifold together with the a/c compressor bracket must be taken off next. Before handling the Engine Mount to frame bolts always eliminate support from crankshaft balancer and Oil Pan. A screw type adjustable jack should be positioned under the tab on the engine block before removing the Engine Mount to engine bolts through the wheelhouse opening. Upper the engine by using the adjustable jack until you reach a suitable height for removing the Engine Mount. The Engine Mount should be positioned to the engine before working through the wheelhouse opening to install mounting bolts to the engine with a torque specification of 50 nm (37 lb ft). Adjust the engine position to make sure the frame surface touches the Engine Mount before removing the adjustable jack. Start installation of the middle Engine Mount bolt first before tightening it to 65 nm (48 lb ft) then proceeding with each of the side bolts. Reposition the a/c compressor bracket before tightening both 90 nm (67 lb ft) bolts securing the front drive axle bracket. Vehicles with 4wd require additional installation of the front drive axle bracket and bolts before tightener to this torque specification. Finally, reinstall the Exhaust Manifold.
