  Q: How to replace the LH engine mount and engine mount bracket on Buick Rainier?

  A:

  The process for left engine mount and bracket replacement needs a starting point of disconnecting the negative Battery Cable followed by cooling fan removal. The procedure starts by removing the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor electrical connector together with its retainer before proceeding to disconnect the MAP Sensor. The left shock module needs removal whenever you detach the frame mount. First remove engine mount nuts at both upper right and left positions before lifting the vehicle to eliminate the lower engine mount nuts at right and left. Caretfully remove the engine protection shield while avoiding contact with the oil level sender so that a jack can be placed on the Oil Pan. Gold lower the vehicle while placing a jack under the Oil Pan alongside a wooden block to raise the engine sufficient to free the engine mount stud. Begin by removing the left engine mount from its bracket and brackets bolts before proceeding to remove both the left bracket and left frame bracket bolts. The technician should remove the left frame engine mount bracket only in cases where it is required. The first step of installation involves installing the left frame engine mount bracket along with its bolts until they reach 110 nm (81 ft. Lbs.) tightness. Install the left engine mount bracket then fasten it with bolts while tightening them to 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.). Lower the engine onto the mounts after placing the left mount on the bracket then secure the right and left upper engine mount nuts with 70 nm (52 ft. Lbs. Torque setting. When extending the vehicle use a jack to access the engine protection shield which will be fastened into place through bolts. Position the right and left lower engine mount nuts before torquing them to 70 Nm (52 ft. Lbs.) then lower the vehicle. Install the left shock module along with the MAP Sensor , map sensor retainer as well as its electrical connector. After that connect the cooling fan hub nut to the water pump shaft before reinstalling the cooling fan. Reconnect the negative Battery Cable.

  Q: How to replace the right engine mount and engine mount bracket on Buick Rainier?

  A:

  The first step for replacing the right engine mount and bracket involves disconnecting the negative Battery Cable. The cooling fan should be removed first followed by disconnecting the electrical connector and retainer of the MAP Sensor before sensor removal. The removal process starts with taking out the right shock module when frame engine mounts must be extracted. The installation process begins by removing right and left upper engine mount nuts followed by vehicle elevation before right and left lower engine mount nuts extraction. The engine protection shield needs removal but avoid damaging the oil level sender when adding the jack to the Oil Pan. Users should use a floor jack with wood blocking to guide the Oil Pan level before engine rise clears engine mount studs. The engine technician should observe the position of the heat shield during right engine mount bracket removal and then remove the bracket bolts to separate the right engine mount from its bracket. You should take out the right frame engine mount bracket bolts and the bracket when it becomes necessary during the process. To install the right frame engine mount bracket please replace it followed by using bolts and tighten them to 110 n.m (81 lb ft). The right engine mount bracket should be installed with bolts that reach 50 n.m (37 lb ft) tightness. Place the right engine mount while the heat shield must cover the anti-rotation feature of the right side before the engine can drop onto its mounting points. Raise the vehicle and remove the floor jack before you tighten the right and left upper engine mount nuts to 70 n.m (52 lb ft). Mount the engine protection shield with hardware before fastening right and left lower engine mount nuts to 70 n.m (52 lb ft) torque prior to dropping the vehicle. Reinstall the right shock module with the MAP Sensor and its retainer and the electrical connector. After connecting and installing the cooling fan fan hub nut on the water pump shaft, add the cooling fan assembly while reconnecting the battery negative cable.
