AE92 Rear engine mount.

[ForzaAE92]

Hi guys,

I'm having trouble changing the rear engine mount on my AE92, as it's completely perished.

I've followed my trusty Haynes repair manual, which suggests jacking the engine/gearbox up, and then "simply" removing the rear mount. However, even with the box/engine jacked up and the mount bolt + nuts removed, I can't move the mount enough to remove it. I.E., it fouls on the bottom of the power steering rack.

Effectively I need another 15mm vertically to get the mount out. I've tried all sorts, and spent a good 3 hours trying wiggle/bash the it out to no avail. The only way I can see to change it with the engine still in the car, is to drop the front sub-frame, which I really don't want to do.

Has anyone got any suggestions? Because I'm completely stumped.

Cheers,

Cam.

Yea subframe dropped at the rear end, loosen the exhaust as well, it's a prick of a job, I put mine off until I sold the car
