The replacement of
Engine Mounts starts with disconnecting the negative
Battery Cable first. The next procedure requires removal of the fuel injector sight shield,
Drive Belt and a detachment of the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor electrical connector. You must begin by unplugging the
Throttle Body air duct before removing right and left Engine Mount struts. Lift and stabilize the automobile before taking off the right front tire and wheel in addition to the right engine splash shield retainers and splash shield. The first step is to take off the power steering oil cooler pipe brackets from the frame before detaching the A/C Compressor and its mounting bracket during which no system discharge is required along with post-compressor security measures. The next step involves removing the
Catalytic Converter from the right side
Exhaust Manifold as well as lower nuts from the Engine Mount located on the frame. Put the vehicle on engine support fixture (J 28467-B) after lowering it into position to lift the motor. Once you raise the vehicle remove all bolts that hold the left front Engine Mount bracket to the engine and the right rear Engine Mount bracket to the engine from their positions. Adjusting jack stands allows you to lower the frame by first loosening left-side frame bolts and then removing right side frame bolts when obtaining access to the Engine Mount brackets. Repeat the following steps to complete the task: first remove the Engine Mount bracket along with the Engine Mount after you untighten the upper nuts followed by installing the Engine Mount to the Engine Mount bracket. Start by installing engineered 78 nm (58 ft. Lbs.) torque on Engine Mount upper nuts before mounting the Engine Mount together with its bracket to the engine. First secure the left front mount and right rear mount bolts by hand before torquing all Engine Mount bracket bolts to 102 nm (75 ft. Lbs.). After placing the frame in its original position with jack stands you can install right side frame bolts and tighten both right and left side frame bolts to 180 nm (133 ft. Lbs.). Utilize the engine support fixture (J 28467-B) together with engine lowering procedures to decrease the engine height. Follow this by raising the vehicle to install and torque the Engine Mount lower nuts to the frame at 58 ft. Lbs. (78 Nm). Begin A/C Compressor bracket installation before tightening the bracket bolts to 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.), then continue with A/C Compressor mounting nut installation and tightening those nuts to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.). The steering system should receive its power steering oil cooler pipe brackets both from the frame and right engine splash shield alongside their retainers and the Catalytic Converter should be placed at the right side Exhaust Manifold. Place the right front wheel along with its tire then lower the vehicle before taking out the engine support fixture (J 28467-B). To complete the engine compartment refitting you must install the air inlet duct to the Throttle Body followed by the Drive Belt, fuel injector sight shield and negative Battery Cable and left and right Engine Mount struts and iat sensor electrical connector.
