Q: How to replace the right engine mount on GMC Canyon?
A: Replacing the right engine mount starts with raising and supporting the vehicle before removing the wheel and tire assembly and engine shield when present. First support the engine with both a jack stand and wood block before removing the through bolt from the mount-to-frame bracket on the replacement side while loosening the left side through bolt. Usage of the jack stand to raise the engine allows tilting before removing the engine mount bolts for complete engine mount removal when necessary. Begin engine mount bolt installation by first putting in bolt position to enhance mounting efficiency. The process requires setting engine mount bolts at 50 Nm (37 ft. lbs.) then lowering the engine to install the engine mount-to-frame bracket through bolt which needs tightening at 85 Nm (63 ft. lbs.). Last, take off the jack stand while reinstalling any equipped engine shield then reinstall the wheel and tire followed by lowering the vehicle.
Q: How to replace the right side engine mount on GMC Sierra 1500?
A: The first step to replace the right side Engine Mount begins with removing the Engine Mount to Engine Mount Bracket bolts. The first step requires vehicle support by a suitable lift method while removing all oil pan skid plate bolts and the plate itself. The adjustable jack needs placement on the square tab at the engine block rear to lift the engine body after Starter removal. Secondly you must unbolt the Engine Mount and then remove both the mount and its bolts. Remove both Engine Mount Bracket bolts from their positions and the respective bracket components before proceeding to remove the bolts on the Engine Mount Bracket with its bracket. The first step for installation begins with putting the Engine Mount Bracket into position by thoroughly cleaning all bolt threads with denatured alcohol or equivalent and then applying threadlocker gm p/n 12345382 (Canadian P/N 10953489) to the bolts. After cleaning and thread-locking the bolts, proceed with installation by securing the bracket. Fit and tighten Engine Mount Bracket bolts to 75 n.m (55 lb ft), after which position and install the Engine Mount side bracket with its attached bolts then tighten these bracket bolts to 50 n.m (37 lb ft). To complete the installation position the Engine Mount first before tightening its bolts to 50 n.m (37 lb ft) and finally remove the engine and reinstall the Starter. As the final steps install the oil pan skid plate and its bolts at 20 n.m (15 lb ft), drop the vehicle before installing the Engine Mount to Engine Mount Bracket bolts which must be tightened at 65 n.m (48 lb ft).
Q: How to replace the left engine mount on a 2WD on GMC Yukon?
A: The first step to replace the left Engine Mount of a 2wd vehicle involves removing the air cleaner outlet duct. The first step is to lower the vehicle before you access the Engine Mount to frame bolts . Lift the vehicle to reach halfway in the air. During the left wheelhouse liner removal proceed with caution because the engine must not rest on crankshaft balancer or Oil Pan. Position a screw type adjustable jack underneath the tab that extends from the engine block. The wheelhouse opening provides access for removing Engine Mount to engine bolts while an adjustable jack helps elevate the engine marginally for removing the Engine Mount. Position the Engine Mount to the engine before locking the Engine Mount to engine bolts through the wheelhouse opening and tightening them to 50 nm (37 lb ft). After adjusting the engine height you should remove the adjustable jack when the Engine Mount rests completely against the frame. Place the left wheelhouse liner before lowering the vehicle while you install the Engine Mount frame bolts using 65 nm as the tightening torque with the center bolt first and both side bolts afterward. Lower down the vehicle before placing back the air cleaner outlet duct.
