Rikki 2 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Thats the rear engine mount, as your lookin at the front its on the left in front of where you sit lol. IIRC from the top you undo the nut take the heatshield off the remove the bolt, its a weird bolt with thread exposed for aforementioned shield) then jack the engine up you should then be able to undo the two bolts holding the mount to the subframe? Hope this helps Link to post Share on other sites
