Toysrme Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Jack, and a wood block. Gentally jack up the engine under the oil pan so you can take one mount off at a time without the entire thing falling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this done with the car on jackstands? Thanx for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camlex Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Hello, you really don't know how to do it? take it to mechanic, front mount replacement cost only 50-60 dollers. Safety....first What I understand from his statement is that you should raise your car (with a jack), find a wood piece to put under the engine, and then bring the car slowly down so the engine and wood piece touch and the wood is supporting the engine. Then, open the front engine mount and replace it. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toysrme Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 DC however you do it is up to you. Wiggle under the car, jackstands, ramps, a lift. You just asked me how you change the mount LoL! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the torque specs on the lower front mount on a 93 ES300? One bolt for the engine mount and three for the frame mount.

Toysrme Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Sorry. IDK the spec. Haynes says "tighten securly" & I came home from a week of popa sitting yesterday to find everything adobe isn't working... (So no camry manual reading for me!) I'd just wrench down on them, leave the undercover off & chekc them after a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
