REMOVAL PROCEDURE
NOTICE: Broken or deteriorated mounts can cause misalignment and destruction of certain drive train components. When a single mount breaks, the
remaining mounts are subjected to abnormally high stresses.
1. Remove the upper fan shroud.
2. Raise the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.
3. Remove the engine mounting through-bolt and nut (left side shown).
NOTICE: When raising or supporting the engine for any reason, do not use a jack under the oil pan, any sheet metal, or crankshaft balancer.
Jacking against the oil pan may cause it to crack or break.
4. Using a jack on the square tab (left side shown) at the rear of the engine block, raise the engine. In order to access the square tab on the right side
remove the starter.
5. Raise the engine only enough to permit removal of the engine mount.
6. Check for interference between the rear of the engine and the dash panel.
